Only reason I read this book is for school and it seems to teach bad habits.

You could tell it was written by former VB 6 and earlier programmers since they use old VB prefixes for all their variable names. Also not enough code examples. Only 1 complete runnable program per chapter. Didn't feel like I learned VB 2005 after reading this book. Too simplistic.

Good things were easy to read lots of use of screen captures. End of chapter projects.

Printing code that actually works.
