The book is written in a textbook format, with each part interconnected yet somewhat independent. At the beginning of each lesson, the key points are listed, and at the end of the lesson, a "Quick Reference" is provided for important techniques in that lesson. The book features an innovative layout, clear structure, highlighted key points, illustrations, and content that progresses from simple to complex, making it highly practical. It serves as an excellent self-study tool for developers working with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, as well as a teaching and learning resource for university students and teachers in related fields, and can also be used as a textbook for similar training classes. The accompanying CD-ROM includes three parts: 1) All exercise files from the original book's accompanying CD; 2) An electronic book to this book; and 3) The "Mastering Visual Basic 5.0" multimedia learning software.
