This book does what the title promises.
I bought this book because it said 15 hrs and I wanted to wave it in front of the 21-day person. Little did I know that it was so good. I did not buy it for programming practices or tips. Starting from ground zero I needed to learn this to finish a project for a demo used for marketing.
I was amazed at how easy the book was to follow. However, it would be impossible without the VB in front of me. I know there is a disk, but it is not the same. My only problem was that the writer thought I needed help whereas I did not. That, I could live with. I understand programming. Then there were the times that the author left me hanging, thinking I knew how to think like Microsoft and would say, "Now just open the project window", like that was supposed to mean something.
I was planning on some great mystery and was surprised to find that VB is BASIC with a few objects thrown in. I still have a way to go but I think I can create replacement objects that are not “Microsoft proprietary” and can transfer the project to x-windows and other environments.
Do not tell the 21-day person that it still takes me 21 days, but this book got me off the ground with a running start. In the meantime, this book is better than it promises.
