Learning Version 4.0 vs. Version 5.0

Question:
I had just started learning VB 4 when VB 5 was released. Is it worthwhile to master VB 4 and then try to understand the differences, or doesVB 5 represent such a major upgrade that it wouldbe better to study it from scratch?

Answer:
VB 5.0 is the upgrade that 4.0 should have been. I would stronglyrecommend skipping 4.0 and going right to 5.0. Since most of the booksthat are currently available are going to be for 5.0, you’ll have a hardtime finding information about 4.0 specific things.
