Hardcore Visual Basic

Although this book is not new, it is new to me. I do not have a hard copy, but there is an online copy of the book at Karl E. Peterson's One Stop SourceShop. http://vb.mvps.org/hardcore/

Visual Basic 5.0 Control Creation Edition

If you would really like to learn VB Classic but cannot afford (or find!) a major edition, do not despair! Microsoft issued Visual Basic 5.0 Control Creation Edition for FREE!

VB5CCE cannot compile code into executable programs and cannot work with databases. Other than that, you can use VB5CCE to learn VB Classic. MOST code for VB6 will also run in VB5CCE.

You can still find helpful information about VB5CCE at the Microsoft website.

There is also an online book to help you start programming in VB5CCE.

You can download VB5CCE at the VB Classic Forever google site.
