VISUAL BASIC 2005 FOR DUMMIES

Since starting a class where I have to make internet pages, I've realized that I know diddly squat about anything beyond the very basics & nothing about the programs such as VB. In fact, the first time I saw the Visual Basic program I almost hyperventilated because it all looked so foreign & crazy. Thank goodness for the 'Dummies' books! There were lots of nice references in the books for me to use. The only problem is well... sometimes there wasn't a lot of explanation for parts of the code & that's not very helpful if you actually want to understand what you are putting in! If I wanted to just copy down random code, I could've done that from the internet for free! Still, there's lots of helpful bits & pieces in here, so it did help me overall with the course. I just recommend for any potential buyers that they find a copy to look through first before plunking down the money for it. You may find that other books could be more helpful than this one is!
