Visual BAsic

I have owned this book for about 3 weeks and finally started using it. I would give this book my best rating.I had no idea, before buying this book, that you could find / do and use so much of the API in Visual Basic.Pappas and Murray have opened a whole new dimension for me as a Visual Basic programmer.

Detail?

I got this book so I could learn how to get to Windows functions. It divided the Windows API into many chapters then gave example code for the functins in that chapter.If the authors were restricted to 600 pages, they did a pretty good job of covering the important details.The good thing about this book for a student is that the functions from the API are listed in the book. I mean - who has a computer with them all the time? I can go to the library and write code, because I have this book - I don't have to have my computer. If I had any complaint it is that there weren't even more examples. But I can't complain overall - it is a good book for people just getting started with the API

Worth a tree and a half

This book explains the WINAPI and how to attach VB programs to it. I was having a lot of trouble with this concept until I got the book.Murray and Pappas showed me, by example after example, how to write the kind of code I bought the book for.

Absolutely Fantastic !!

This book is a must have for any serious VB developer. Invaluable !!!
