Query: The finest programing book I've ever used (really!)

I can't speak highly enough about this book. While it's not for someone who has never used VB before, if you have some basic knowledge, and you *really* want to learn how to create world-class programs, this is the book. I found myself using some of his examples, within the first week of using the book, in my own programming. He goes over aspects of clean code, performance, theory, practice, and he's actually written samples for everything he talks about, which means that he actually went into VB and tried *everything* it has. He brings all of that information back to the reader, down to peculiar behaviors and workarounds to undocumented errors. I wish every author went to the trouble that Mr. Balena has both in learning about the software, and presenting all of his findings. Just buy this book.
