VISUAL BASIC IS KILLING PROGRAMMING. Years ago, programming was considered difficult and people had to be taught how to do it. There were people who learned on the job, of course, but generally they were enthusiasts who had the wherewithal for programming and just needed the guidance of an experienced mentor to bring it out. But with the advent of Visual Basic, everyone who can work a mouse is suddenly a programmer.

This book puts programming fundamentals on the Visual Basic agenda. From the pages of keysound.com comes a collection of essays founded on the experiences of a professional writer of Visual Basic. The result is an uncompromisingly honest appraisal of Visual Basic's strengths and weaknesses, and an invaluable source of wisdom about the 'nuts and bolts' of cutting VB code.
