Which version of VB ?

Do you still want to go for version 6 ?

[Aiden Triffitt]

I'm reading and using Programming with Visual Basic second Edition, which I have been using for 3 - 4 years now.

Although the code is out of date compared to VB6 functions, it is still good for ideas on where to begin in a task and features many tutorials which can be adapted for VB6 or used straight away. I find it quite useful as a place to begin coding in BASIC form as it is quite informative

I think is best to start with VB because:
- there is a slide difference in the code between VB3,4 and VB6.
- Once you are programming a time, You want always a little more and then You run to the boundaries of the old language.
- Also the compatibility with Windows of today !?
- VB6 is still widely used !
