VB intro book for programmers sought

[Marco]

Could someone please recommend a good introductory book to Visual
Basic written for programmers who have had little or no exposure to
Windows? I am a C++ programmer and have only worked on Unix/Linux so
far, so I understand very little about DLL's, COM, ActiveX, etc, but I
don't need to have elementary programming concepts explained.
Thanks,

Marco

The best book i ever bought , is programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
from Francesco Balena ( MS PRESS )
this book covers everything , and i still use it as a reference all
previous bought books were wasted money

look here for a peek

Francesco also wrote a VB.NET book ( same size as the VB 6 version ) wich
i also own, again this book is superb to all others and again usable as a
reference guide

In my native language we have a saying that covers it all

translated :
<
if you do hear the bell ringing , but but you do not know how

Then these books are for you ( these books are for persons who do have some
programming knowledge, but need to get pointed in the right direction )
hope this helps :-)

A series of programming books I found very useful in Java and Visual
Basic.NET is

The Complete Reference
Visual Basic.NET

author: Jeffrey R. Shapiro
made by Osborne and McGraw Hill

They also give you free code online so you don't have to type in the
examples in the book to experiment with them. Particularly, if you're also
learning Java, this sereies for Java2 is EXTREMELY useful.
