I remember reading this book in the office, during summer, while trying to build quicly a kind of user interface for a factory nearby. I had no problem with vbscript or vba, it was the interface I was trying to understand quicly. I remember laughing out loud at some passages in the text, at the descripition of functions and buttons and airplanes piloting vs hospital programming. It was entertaing (and intructive) from the first to the last page.

VB6 now is quite old and obsolete, but I would recommend to have it in the comic books section.
