training guide
by Professors William Murray and Chris Pappas

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wish I could be a programmer", "Programmers are so clever. I wish I had the brains !" ?

This wonderful training guide will help beginners as well as intermediate programmers to grasp the basics of Visual Basic 5.0. As the authors say, "There are only two prerequisites to using Visual Basic 5. First, you need to be comfortable using Windows, Windows 95, or Windows NT. This means that you must be comfortable with how to use a mouse, the selection of menus and menu features, use of dialog boxes, and so forth. Second, you should understand If ...Then ... Else selection statements, For loops, constants, variables, and subroutines."

The 507 page guide (+ Index) provides effective tutorials in Visual Basic 5. For beginners, we recommend taking the fast track. Don't read the book ! Instead, load the accompanying CD-ROM. Watch the excellent multimedia training presentation. If you have Visual Basic 5.0 loaded on your system, practice as you learn.

Once you are comfortable with the preliminaries - the CD-ROM will ensure that you are - you will find the book a real pleasure to use.
