I'm with TheIrishCoder on this one. I have the same book. I also have Coding Techniques For Microsoft Visual Basic by John Connell, and it is also a nice book. That book also comes with it in eBook form. The one by Francesco Balena comes with a DVD 60 day trial of Visual Studio .NET, and an eBook of Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6. I thought I'd point that out, because it is misrepresented on Amazon. I may not have been influenced as much to by the book, had I known the ebook wasn't of the actual book. Oh well. It is still loaded with helpful info regardless.
