 Phenomenal Learning System, 2008-08-27
When I was 16, I convinced my teacher at the time to plunk down $100 for this software - combined with the videos, and a small book, I taught myself how to develop Windows software in the basement of my house.
For anyone wanting to learn Windows development now, this is not the software for it. The Visual Basic language has changed drastically in the last 7 years since the .NET system was introduced, and moving from Visual Basic 6 up would be even more difficult for a novice developer.
But if you're in an environment that uses VB 6, or VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), this is the best way to learn the basics.

 My honest desire to be an accounting system analyst., 2002-01-21
Choosing a software to use and start in programing should be easy and detailed to understand. Many of my friends adviced me to own a Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Learning Edition to support my limited knowledge in computer operations. I am a novis user, with VB 6.0 learning edition, positively it will be a great help to impart the " What to do & What to start in programing".May be my dream to be an accounting system analyst will start from here.

Visual Basic 6 Enterprise is the best!!, 2001-10-27
(...) I think Visual Basic is the best and easy development language you can get. I've got the enterprise edition and it really is packed with lots of fetures and stuff that will speed up code time. There's only one things that dissappoint me with Visual Basic, it is: Visual Basic does not have a truly advanced Internet programming like C++. I can't wait to upgrade to Visual Basic.Net because if VB6 is this good then how good can VB6.Net be(...)

Temptress, 2001-10-16
I have been using VB since it came out right after VC. I have owned every upgrade and am a professional C++ programmer, and I love VB. It's like candy. It's so easy to use. Just a medium amount of programming experience can create wonderful programs. In the earlier additions there was some confusion about global variables, user written procedures and subroutines. They were in separate locations causing confusion, but everything is on one page now. You can see every bit of your code by scrolling up and down a single page.Now for the down side, there is a lot left out of the learning edition. I can't really fault Microsoft. If they are going to have lesser and better versions then they have to leave something out of the lesser. Finally and perhaps most important don't forget to use the wealth of help and information found on the online help section. Leave you Internet on and while in VB go up to help and select online help. There is an entire library at your disposal. Try a search, or read general information on a topic. Anything and everything you might want to know is there. Unfortunately in the learning addition most of the advanced functionality is left out. So this wonderful library just tempts you.

I'm impressed!, 2001-09-26
Visual Basic make programming a snap! I'm building GUI's quickly and easily. Motif for C and Swing for Java can't compare in this regard. In fact, it's almost FUN.
