Programming in Visual Basic
This book is aimed at computing students who need to be familiar with Visual Basic for courses up to, and including, degree level. It has been specifically written for those students who have some programming experience (typically Pascal or Basic) and who need a concise and practical introductory-level text on Visual Basic. The text introduces the concepts and techniques of the language across a broad front, and then goes more deeply into key aspects of the system, using larger and more interesting example programs for illustration. Where appropriate, short in-text programming tasks are included to enable students to practice immediately the techniques the text is introducing. At the end of most chapters there are longer programming exercises, some of which have sample answers at the end of the book for student self-testing. The book was written around Visual Basic 3.0 Standard Edition, but virtually all the techniques and concepts apply equally well to Visual Basic 2.0.

I learnt Visual Basic from this book and have fond memories of the projects that it guided me through, which inspired me to develop a few other applications in VB before I moved on to Java and Python. Of course computers and software engineering have moved on since this was written. However, if you can get a VB 3.0 (or similar) installation, I can recommend this as well-paced and concise teach-yourself guide to the simple and more advanced features of this nice coding environment.
