1) Paperback Book Visual Basic 6 for Dummies Deluxe Compiler Kit by For Dummies. If you are serious about learning V.B. 6.0, this book is not for you. The software that comes with the book contains no online help and does NOT compile. Spend a few extra dollars and buy "Visual Basic 6.0 Deluxe Learning Edition". It has the complete online MSDN library for all the help you need, and you can compile your projects into actual executable files.¤

2) Paperback Book Visual Basic 6 for Dummies Deluxe Compiler Kit by For Dummies. While the book will get you started, alot is asummed. Previous programming experience is helpful.¤

3) Paperback Book Visual Basic 6 for Dummies Deluxe Compiler Kit by For Dummies. The title of this package is outright wrong. I´ve been programming for over ten years and when something says "COMPILER" I expect a compiler. The working model included in this package lets you build programs that run in the IDE but does not compile to EXE´s. As for the book, no great shakes. It spends a great deal of time on the RAD but if you want to learn useful VB code, better look elsewhere.¤

4) Paperback Book Visual Basic 6 for Dummies Deluxe Compiler Kit by For Dummies. They say it takes an honorable person to admit an error. I´m not necessarily honorable, but I was wrong about some facts in my previous review, and I´d like to correct the situation now. 1) I found the Icons folder I couldn´t find earlier. It doesn´t install automatically, but if you put the installation CD back in and search, you´ll find it. 2) I found the portion of VB6 I couldn´t find earlier -- it was just hidden from view. So the product isn´t problematic, just the user. I´m still reading the book and using the application, and I am actually, in a truly basic sense, programming. And now, because I have not yet finshed the book, and becuase I don´t want to have to apologize again, I resolve to say nothing more.¤

5) Paperback Book Visual Basic 6 for Dummies Deluxe Compiler Kit by For Dummies. This product is learner´s manual for VB6 combined with a cd-rom allegedly containing a learner´s version of the software. Good idea, problematic execution. After a few chapters into the book, I am less than impressed. The accompanying cd-rom of Visual Basic is a scaled down version that does not have all the bells and whistles that are talked about in the book itself. For example, an early exercise directs the reader to put certain icons in a program. According to the book, these icons come loaded with Visual Basic 6. Maybe, but they don´t come loaded on the scaled-down, companion CD version. Additionally, the book identifies a particular basic portion of the VB 6 interface called the Immediate Window, characterized as a debugging tool. This tool also does not come with the scaled down version. I am considering returning the product, purchasing the book alone for approx. half the price, and then getting a copy of the software.¤

6) Paperback Book Visual Basic 6 for Dummies Deluxe Compiler Kit by For Dummies. From the fundamentals of writing code to the excitement of designing a cool user interface, Visual Basic 6 For Dummies Software Development Kit explains this popular language in terms that nonprogrammers and first-time Visual Basic programmers can understand. With the special edition of Visual Basic 6 bundled with this product, first-time Visual Basic users can immediately try out the techniques explained in the book.

In addition to Visual Basic 6.0 Working Model being included with this product, the book includes a CD-ROM with author-created sample Visual Basic programs and code, as well as third-party demonstration and freeware tools to maximize Visual Basic programming.¤
