Recommend a book 1

Hi! I'm intrigued by Visual Basic and would like to learn more. Is this something that a book can teach or should I consider attending a class? If a book can do the trick, can someone suggest one. - Thanks!!

That really depends on if you have any procedural programming experience --

It's my personal belief that with a good foundation in programming practice, there really isn't anything you can't then learn from a book (i.e. new languages, etc...)

However, if you have had no instruction, then either taking a class or finding a 'mentor' is absolutely key in getting a good understanding of "HOW" programming works -- mainly key concepts such as control blocks, data types, etc...

That said, any book by WROX press is a great place to pick up new skills. They write for the programmer by the programmer in a very simple and straightforward manner. I'm very partial to their books -- they work great for me.

My favorite ease-into-Visual-Basic type books were written by John Smiley. Learn to Program Visual Basic. He is absolutely excellent and teaches structure, rules, and philosophy of creating code.

His books are set in a classroom where students are to create a program for a store owner. You follow the development and frustrations with the students. It's great! And he's great too! Is teaching a lot online now. Check out his website
