(as in It's a cookbook!) *by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2021* I’ve been out of high school many more decades than I care to relate but this book reads to me like a high school textbook. You can skip over the sophomoric quizzes and crossword puzzles but how many adult aspiring programmers want to revisit motion problems and quadratic equations?I don’t see why procedures and functions are left to chapter 35 (out of 39 chapters). The scope and lifetime of variables are insufficiently discussed as are variable attributes (public, private, friend and shared).My biggest criticism, outside of the book’s unsuitability for most adults, is its failure to say anything about forms programming. Now I understand that this is a book for complete beginners and that you have to walk before you can run but no one wants to be limited to console programs. A forms program I wrote to calculate yield to maturity on a treasury security uses four textboxes for input, one for output and a single button which requests the calculation. All the code for the program was placed in the button handle. Simple programs can be written using textboxes, a single button and a couple of data conversion functions instead of using console applications.Finally, there is little or no discussion of variable attributes (public, private, friend & shared), structures and the related subject reference versus value variables. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely Lucky Find for Beginner's *by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019* I have found myself in the position that I must learn programming for work. I have bought numerous books trying to teach myself how to program but have struggled quite a lot. There are several programming books out there that could be used to learn programing but none seemed to have the basics of thinking like a programmer. Thank goodness I found this book, it has been a life saver. This book provides a clear, concise and organized teaching method that allows for the fact the user is a complete beginner in programming. The basics of Visual Basic programming are presented in a detailed manner which are easily understandable for the beginner; and provides practical guidance in using the Visual Studio IDE. I am still working through the book, but my knowledge base has already expanded greatly.I would definitely recommend this book for beginners! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Visual Basic and Flowcharts: A Textbook *by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021* The book is clearly a self-published effort lacking a good technical editor. It also spends a great deal of time on flowcharts.While I found a couple of useful tidbits in the book, on the whole I found it simplistic and for a beginner book, it was oddly disjointed. Most beginners are going to want to learn to create a Windows program, not a console program and there was no discussion of creating a windows program from the book.Additionally, there are a great many - GREAT MANY - exercises, quiz questions, even crosswords. In some respects, it should have been sold as a text book for a highschool class on programming.Overall I got more out of a 13 year old "teach yourself" type book that referenced VB.NET 2008 than this. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/107493255-visual-basic-and-algorithmic-thinking-for-the-complete-beginner-learn](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/107493255-visual-basic-and-algorithmic-thinking-for-the-complete-beginner-learn) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
