Reference

Accelerated VB 9.0 is the fastest path to VB mastery. All VB programmers need to know and understand how VB really works but very few books address this. No other book covers the topic in the depth that this book does. It teaches both core VB language concepts and how to use them in high-performance code. All programmers moving to VB from any language or moving up to VB 9.0 from VB 2005 will find this book well worth buying, reading, and using as a reference.
