This Book isn’t for Everyone

I really hate it when technical books announce that they’re for “everyone”, don’t you? It can’t possibly be true, and saying that it is doesn’t sell any more books in the long run. It just irritates people who get confused (because the book’s too advanced for them) or bored (because the book’s too basic). I don’t want to irritate or bore you, so I’ll say it plainly: This book isn’t for everyone.

This Book is for You If

• You don’t know anything (or at least not much) about programming but want to learn.

• You’ve been using a computer for awhile but don’t really know how applications get written.

• You’ve done a little playing around with Visual Studio and Visual Basic but don’t really feel comfortable about your skills. It’s scary not knowing what you don’t know, and this book can help with that.
