Editor's review

Visual Basic Programming, written by Lu Kui, is a classic introductory programming textbook for beginners. Using Visual Basic 6.0 as its development environment, it systematically explains the fundamental concepts of programming, the language basics, forms and controls, menu design, file operations, and database programming. Its clear structure progresses from simple to complex, and numerous practical examples guide readers step by step toward mastering VB's core techniques and application methods.

As a technical tutorial, the book's strength lies in its plain narrative style and solid knowledge system. Rather than pursuing flashy tricks, the author focuses on building a firm foundation, which is crucial for beginners to establish correct ways of thinking. The explanations of key concepts such as event-driven programming and visual interface design are particularly effective, helping readers understand how Windows applications work.

Although Visual Basic 6.0 is no longer a mainstream development tool, the programming ideas, problem-decomposition methods, and logical-construction skills the book teaches retain lasting value. For readers who need to quickly understand the principles of desktop application development or who work on maintaining legacy VB systems, the book remains a practical stepping stone. It is more like a patient mentor, guiding you through the entire process from understanding code to writing useful programs.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Lower-year students in computer-related majors at colleges and universities
Programming beginners who want to systematically learn desktop application development
Technical personnel who need to understand or maintain legacy VB6-based systems
Self-learners interested in event-driven and visual programming concepts

Not a good fit for

Developers seeking to learn modern languages such as VB.NET on the .NET platform or C#
Senior programmers who want to delve into advanced programming techniques or software architecture

Reading tips

Read the chapters in order and be sure to practice every sample code in the book hands-on
After understanding the basic syntax, try modifying and extending the book's cases to deepen your understanding
Compare this book with a foundational tutorial in a modern programming language (such as Python) to appreciate the commonalities of programming ideas

FAQ

Which version of Visual Basic does this book use?

The book is based on the classic Visual Basic 6.0 development environment, a very mature and widely used version in VB's history.

Is there still value in learning VB 6.0 today?

Knowledge of VB 6.0 still has value for understanding the basic principles of Windows desktop programs, the event-driven programming model, and rapid development of small tools. But if your goal is commercial software development, it is advisable to go on to learn modern languages under the .NET framework.

Is this book suitable for people with no programming background at all?

Very suitable. The book starts from scratch, assumes no prior programming knowledge, and guides beginners step by step; it is one of the classic zero-foundation textbooks.

About the author

陆奎 Author

Lu Kui is an author about whom limited public information is available; the details currently confirmed center on the field of computer programming instruction. Two works by this author are included in the collection: Visual Basic Programming and Visual Basic Programming Experiments and Exam Guide, both commonly classified under programming design. Judging from the combination of these two titles, the author pays attention both to systematic explanation of basic programming language knowledge and to practical elements such as hands-on experiments and exam guidance, reflecting a textbook-oriented approach aimed at learners. The former focuses on fundamental concepts and methods of program design, while the latter supports experimental and examination needs, forming a structure in which knowledge learning and hands-on practice are connected. Because birth and death dates, nationality, and professional career are not found in the available materials, no speculation is made here. Overall, Lu Kui's writing style tends toward practicality and instructional support, suitable as a reference for Visual Basic beginners and exam preparation.

殷晓波 Author

Yin Xiaobo — public information is limited, but it can be confirmed that Yin is one of the authors of computer textbooks for higher education. Together with Lu Kui, Yin co-edited Visual Basic Programming, published by Posts & Telecom Press in 2018 as a planned computer textbook for universities. In the same direction, the library also includes Yin's Visual Basic Programming: Experiments and Exam Guide, indicating that the writing covers both classroom instruction and teaching components such as lab work and examinations. Judging from the available works, Yin Xiaobo's writing focuses on the basics of Visual Basic programming for university students' introductory learning and hands-on practice, with an emphasis on textbook standards and practicality and chapters arranged to follow course progress. These textbooks provide beginners with systematic introductory material for understanding basic programming concepts and mastering programming methods in a visual development environment, and are suitable as companion books for related courses.
