I think this book is a useful tool for from-scratch beginners, which is pretty much what I was...but the author has a tendancy to repeat the same things over and over and over and over and over and over again from one chapter to the next, and the redundancy got kind of...really annoying. I guess once you learn how to sift through to find the pertinent information, it's a very useful book.

good book. but i kind of lost during first readings. whenever i tried to find quick links to my problems, i go to the content list but i feel that the content list is not helping me to be able to find asnwer to do this and that very quick. i was disspointed by that difficulties during my first readings, coz i bought this book to help me quick-solve my problems when i practice VB at hand.
