"It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."

- Edsger Dijkstra

This used to be a collection of original articles reflecting my own experiences as a professional writer of Visual Basic. Most of these arose out of discussions with other programmers, and many of these discussions took place within the thriving VB community on CIX.

Now I've packaged it all up into a 210-page paperback book. The early copies were made by hand in my kitchen, but the current edition is printed and bound professionally. Not only that, but it's also cheaper!
