On the cover of this book they wrote, "Open this Book as a Novice and Finish It as a Pro"

I think they delivered on that promise.

This was the book that really taught me Visual Basic 6 back in the day and I did feel like I started reading it as a novice and finished it as a pro. I went from making toy applications to making real substantial ones.

I doubt many people are trying to learn Visual Basic 6 anymore but I appreciate everything this book did for me and my career.
