4)Computer Programming Concepts and Visual Basic (Beginner How To)
This book explains in detail programming concepts with visual basic examples.

5)Database Access with Visual Basic
It’s probably safe to say that the majority of Visual Basic developers will use VB to access databases sooner or later. So why aren’t there more books on databases and Visual Basic? Because database access is the equivalent of plumbing. Like plumbing, there are dozens of segments you must put together before the whole thing works, and when it doesn’t work, the part that’s causing the problem isn’t immediately obvious. Put bluntly, it’s a decidedly unsexy topic.
This book puts the plumbing in order. It won’t help you hike up your pants when you reach under the sink, but it will give you exposure to nearly all aspects of database access you’re likely to encounter in Visual Basic today. Through it all, the objective is to give you the information you need in a concise manner, using examples and step-by-step procedures rather than brief, acronym-laden blurbs. One common misconception about VB is that it’s only good for building database front ends. But as this book shows, Visual Basic 5.0 is not your father’s VB. If you’re one of the thousands of developers migrating to VB 5.0 from version 3.0, you’ll notice an even bigger difference. In fact, the majority of material covered in this book — ActiveX components, Remote Data Objects, ActiveX Data Objects, and SQL Server 6.5 — weren’t available in version 3.0. It’s clear that Visual Basic has come of age as a software development system, and the success of VB 5.0 bears that out.

It is intended for beginning to intermediate level programmers.

10)Microsoft Visual Basic 6 tutorial
A very good book for starters as it covers all the topics of VB.

11) O'reilly WinAPI Programming with Visual Basic
This book is intended for the intermediate or higher level Visual Basic programmer. The book has two goals:
• Describe the Win32 API and how to program it from Visual Basic versions 5.0 and 6.0.
• Describe the basic operation of the Windows NT and Windows 9x operating systems.
As you may know, the Win32 Application Programming Interface, or Win32 API for short, is the programming interface that is used to programmatically control the Windows operating system. More specifically, the Win32 API consists of a collection of functions and subroutines, supplied in a handful of dynamic link libraries (DLLs), that provide programmatic access to the features of the operating system.
The first goal mentioned earlier is a practical one since, as we will see, the Win32 API can be of immense use in extending the power of Visual Basic. The second goal is less practical, but is equally important, since Microsoft's documentation seldom takes into account what the reader knows or does not know. Hence, a grounding in the basics of the Windows operating systems will help VB programmers understand Microsoft's documentation.
Of course, the two goals are not unrelated. Indeed, the purpose of the Win32 API is to implement the services (or features, if you will) of the Windows operating system. Hence, in order to understand the function of the Win32 API, it is important to have some understanding of how Windows itself works.
I should also point out that this book is not intended to be an encyclopedia for the Win32 API. My goal is to present you with enough information to get an overall feel for the Windows operating system and the Win32 API and to allow you to

12)Prentice Hall - Visual Basic 6 - How to Program (1999)
The Complete, authoritative introduction to Visual Basic 6.Visual Basic 6 is revolutionizing software development with multimedia-intensive, object-oriented, compiled code for conventional and Internet/Intranet-based applications, This new volumes in the Deitels' How to Program Series -- the world's most widely used introductory/intermediate, college-level programming language textbook series -- explains Visual Basic 6's extraordinary capabilities.

13)Programming Dist Applications with COM and MS VB6 1998
In this book, Ted has captured the essence of COM and MTS programming and has written perhaps the most accurate and approachable text on MTS programming available today. Rather than simply parroting the SDK documentation and proclaiming that "stateless objects equal scalability," Ted has looked at the COM and MTS programming models and distilled the fundamental principles into a very readable (and short) text. In an age when authors seem to get paid by the pound, this book is a breath of fresh air. I am sure that this book will help many more developers achieve their personal COM and MTS epiphanies than any of its predecessors.

14)Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Ebook Edition
In its six versions, Visual Basic has evolved from the simplest programming language for Microsoft Windows to an exceedingly complex development environment, capable of delivering virtually anything from tiny utilities to huge n-tier client/server applications. For this reason, the job of writing a book that encompasses all the language's features has become a daunting task, and I was actually intimidated when I began to read this book. I would have preferred to read several books on specific topics, or at least this is what I thought at first.

17) Teach Yourself Visual Basic In 24 Hours
This book is for programmers and would-be programmers who want to learn Visual Basic as quickly as possible without sacrificing the foundation necessary to master the language. Visual Basic is a product one can use at many levels. Newcomers who have never programmed can create a complete working Windows program in less than two hours, as this book demonstrates. Those who have programmed in other languages will appreciate Visual Basic's design, which makes creating a Windows program more like designing a screen with a mouse-driven art program.
This book teaches Visual Basic in several levels. You will quickly begin creating applications by following simple examples. These applications will be fully working Windows applications with all the usual user-interface controls such as command buttons, labels, and text boxes.
Once you become familiar with building the program's user interface, you can start honing your programming skills by learning the actual Visual Basic programming language. Fortunately, learning Visual Basic's programming language is much easier than learning others, such as C++.
As long as you are familiar with Windows, you can create applications with Visual Basic. You don't have to be a Windows expert, but you should feel comfortable working with menus, the mouse, and the Windows interface. If you've opened, closed, and resized windows, you surely have the skills necessary to create your own Visual Basic applications. This 24-hour course teaches Visual Basic 5, the latest and greatest Visual Basic incarnation. Visual Basic 5 requires Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0. The Windows 95 interface introduced in Windows 95 and that now appears in NT makes working within a windowed environment enjoyable.

18)Using Visual Basic 6
THIS BOOK IS NOT ONLY FOR beginning programmers who want to learn Visual Basic but also experienced programmers who are familiar with other programming languages and seek a working knowledge of Visual Basic. Every page of Using Visual Basic 6 provides you with useful facts and techniques. The aim is to teach you how to program by showing you programs--sometimes step by step and sometimes with a conceptual, from-the-ground-up point of view.
The author of this book assumes that you have a working knowledge of Windows, that you've done word processing or used a spreadsheet, and that you know your way around the Windows interface. It's also assumed that you have a copy of Visual Basic 6, access to a computer, and time to review the topics and work with the examples in each chapter. Very, very rarely can someone read a book on computer programming and instantly "get it" without taking the time for some hands-on experience.
Learning a programming language is a challenging experience. The author and technical reviewers of this book are professional programmers who have made every effort to convey the fun and challenge of VB programming while addressing your need for relevant, easy-to-understand material. If Visual Basic programming is something that you want to do, either professionally or as a side activity, and you need a book that instructs in a clear, concise, real-world manner, this is for you.

19)VB6 - Visual Basic 6 Database Tutorial
Since version 3, Visual Basic has been the tool of choice for database programmers everywhere. First came DAO with version 3, RDO with version 4, and then the ability to build robust ActiveX components in version 5. With each successive version, Microsoft adds more functionality to make database programming easier for you.
Visual Basic's powerful database feature set has continued to grow with version 6. New tools and technologies like ADO, OLE-DB, and the Microsoft Data Reporter vie for your attention. What does it all mean, what can it do for you, and most importantly, how do you quickly get up to speed?
That's why this book was created. Visual Basic 6 Database How-To gives an in-depth view of each major method of data access, with real-life examples with which to work. Like all books in the successful How-To series, Visual Basic 6 Database How-To emphasizes a step-by-step problem-solving approach to Visual Basic programming. Each How-To follows a consistent format that guides you through the issues and techniques involved in solving a specific problem. Each section contains the steps to solve a problem, as well as a discussion of how and why the solution works. In most cases, you can simply copy the provided code or objects into your application and be up and running immediately. All the code described in the book is available on the accompanying CD-ROM.
The book's concepts and examples are useful to Visual Basic programmers of all skill levels. Each How-To is graded by complexity level, with information on additional uses and enhancements to fit your needs exactly. Additionally, each chapter contains an introduction that summarizes each How-To and covers the chapter's techniques and topics so that you can zero in on just the solution you need without having to go through hundreds of pages to find it.

20)VB6 internet programming
Winsock is a library of functions and routines that all Windows programs use
when they want to access the Internet. It provides the low-level functions of
sending and receiving data, as well as tools for managing connections, and
everything else that has to do with basic Internet communications.
This code uses a Winsock control for communications, whereas some other
books opt to access the Winsock library directly. I believe that it is neither
beneficial nor necessary to do this. The real bottleneck in Internet
communications is the Internet connection itself. You don’t gain anything by
saving a few nanoseconds, if indeed you actually can. If you really want to get
the best performance, get a faster Internet connection. The benefits you gain by
programming at a higher level are too numerous to ignore.
That said, there are other books that focus on higher level tools that do
everything for you. You just tell a control to send an email message and it just
happens. While most of the time this approach works great, there may be
situations in which you need to make changes in the process due to the quirks.

21)VB_internet programming with visual basic
VISUAL BASIC (VB)6 INTRODUCED A NEW WAY of creating robust and scalable Internet applications. With a new technology called the Internet Information Server (IIS) application (also known as the Web Class technology), millions of developers can now use the world's easiest and most popular programming language for writing Web Classes that glue together all the elements of an Internet application .Creating Internet applications with VB is not much different from developing other types of projects. If you are a VB developer with no experience in building an Internet application, you'll be surprised by the similarity between IIS applications and traditional form-based VB applications. Not only can you use the sophisticated debugging tools that come
with the VB Integrated Development Environment, you will also find the familiar error handling and the usual wizards that can help you create the skeletons of your projects and save you a lot of coding time. In short, you will feel comfortably at home. If you are familiar with Microsoft scripting technology Active Server Pages (ASP), you will find the IIS application a nice
enhancement that is easier to write. IIS applications utilize all the ASP objects that ship with IIS,but all your business rules are now located in compiled objects. As a result ,IIS applications are much faster and more scalable than interpreted ASP applications. This book is an easy-to-understand guide to building a browser-independent Internet application using Visual Basic. Examples are abundant to help make learning as quick as possible. Nevertheless,the coverage is of sufficient depth to make you, the reader, an expert in IIS applications

26)Visual Basic 6 UML Design and Development
VB6 UML Design and Development provides a solid working introduction to design techniques using today's Unified Modelling Language (UML) standard. Written for those with little or no experience in formal design, this digestible text provides all you need to get control of the software development process within Visual Basic.
The book begins with a tour of UML basics such as case, class, activity and sequence diagrams. It looks at today's iterative software development process and patterns and frameworks for better software reuse. The "framework" offered here uses Microsoft's Distributed iNternet Architecture (DNA) to create a three-tiered application using MTS on the middle tier in a case study for an order entry system.
Starting with requirements analysis, the book provides sample interviews from hypothetical users. This data is then used to construct use case diagrams. Then it's on to interaction, sequence and collaboration diagrams. The sections on class design here are notably strong (with both the traditional CRC cards and UML class diagrams used to model classes). The later chapters of this book turn to implementing the system on Microsoft's DNA platform using ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Remote Data Service (RDS) for database access and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) for scalable transactions.
Besides excellent MTS-enabled sample code to get you started on your own applications, perhaps the best feature of VB6 UML Design and Development is its ability to cover formal design and UML without getting lost in opaque software engineering terminology
