drills to reinforce the development of core programming skills, and a full-color design that motivates readers. This book's premise is the same one that successful coaches have using for centuries: the more you practice a skill, the better your mastery of that skill becomes. Visual Basic concepts are presented and then practiced repeatedly in the form of drills to ensure that readers develop an understanding of the subtitles of the syntax. These drills are supplemented with real-world examples of programming problems, from the world of business, which build upon knowledge gained from these drills. The book also features an introduction to database topics like ADO and SQL, along with pointers on transitioning to VB.net. A CD-ROM containing Visual Basic 6.0 is also included.
