This book is aimed at those taking their first steps in programming, as well as experienced programmers who want to learn the basics of a new language.

It does not require previous experience in programming, although it assumes that the reader has some familiarity with the use of Windows. Visual Basic offers, especially for new programmers, an excellent introduction to Windows programming, as it allows the creation of fully functional applications with minimal effort and in no time.

"Visual Basic 6 - The Easy Way" is based on version 6.0 of Visual Basic but also covers previous versions.
