David McCarter's VB Tips and Techniques

While there are many books on how to learn Visual Basic, few focus on the "bite sized" tips and techniques that maximize a VB professional's productivity in the real, day-to-day, programming world. McCarter's many tips and techniques solve the kinds of dilemmas that professionals could previously master only with many years of experience. If even one of these tips saves the professional an hour of work (and there are hundreds that can do just that), the book will more than justify its cost to the VB professional.
The book begins with a chapter for those programmers starting out in Visual Basic. It then gives tips and techniques that cover just about every major topic necessary for intermediate to advanced VB programmers. Among the wide variety of topics covered are: Forms, Disk and Files, advanced Windows API usage, Database Programming and using VB for Internet programming.
