    • A Basic Trip From DOS to Windows

      The transistion from a DOS life to Windows is not very easy, But when forced by ever changing technolgy ( the loss of ISA to PCI ) made me hunt for a new interface and DOS basic would not drive it, only Visual Basic, you can not import dos basic into Visual basic and it work, BUT with this book you can do a little more work on the org program and make it a Window version, with a few more bells and glitter. So sometimes we must let the past go... and grow.

    • Not durable or quality materials.

      Not highly advised to purchase unless you are doing an experiment on trapping flies with other devises. Sugar, water and a few drops of dish washing soap will do the trick.

    • Visual Basic 6 For Dummies by Wally Wang (1998)

      This book makes it easy to understand how to develop a program and code it from start to finish. I have had no prior training in programming but with the aid of this book I was able to put together a program that works. This book has made me feel good about being able to accomplish this task without prior formal schooling and I have learned something new which is great as well.

    • Worth the price

      Good and very easy to understand
