This updated and revised edition of a bestseller guides users through a system in which they will learn Visual Basic in just 21 days. Using a logical and easy-to-follow sequence, this book helps users fully understand the principles involved in developing robust programs.

This is a beginner's book, but one for ambitious beginners. Making few assumptions about previous experience, it teaches core programming concepts and details Visual Basic features and techniques. The discussion touches on ActiveX control creation but does not delve heavily into object- oriented programming techniques. If you're out to get a solid pre-professional grounding in VB programming, Teach Yourself Visual Basic 5 in 21 Days is a strong book to work from. Despite the book's self-help title, it's also a good text to assign if you are teaching a course.
