Synopsis

This book teaches beginners how to program using Visual Basic 6.0. It assumes no prior programming experience. Unlike most other books on Visual Basic that focus only on language details and act more as language manuals than as texts, this book teaches sound programming and problem-solving concepts that make it appropriate for a CS1 level course for CS, CIS, MIS, Business, or Continuing Education courses. Pedagogical features such as case studies, code analysis boxes, key terms boxes, and warnings enhance the learning experience. The book includes a CD of Visual Basic 6.0.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Combining the Visual Basic language with a complete introduction to programming fundamentals

This book presents concepts of programming methodology and sound software development alongside the fundamentals of the Visual Basic 6.0 language. The goal is to provide a foundation of solid programming techniques and to promote an understanding of the common control structures available in most high-level languages. The book discusses the language with gradually increasing complexity, presenting the essential features of Visual Basic before introducing advanced language features. This is an appropriate book for introductory courses in computer programming as well as a reference for advanced programmers.

Features:

• Provides a solid foundation in computer programming fundamentals using the Visual Basic language
• Contains well thought-out pedagogy, including:
  -Code Callouts to explain important points and key concepts in program source code
  -GUI Design Tips to enhance understanding of proper GUI design
  -Real-world examples from the business, math, science, engineering, and operations research communities to demonstrate the relevance of the material
  -Case Studies to provide insight on how the concepts apply to real-world situations
  -Chapter Summaries to review key terms, words, and concepts, along with Review Questions and Chapter Problems to increase reader understanding of the material
  -Programming Projects to allow readers to combine material from previous chapters with the most recent concepts
  -Chapter Supplements to include more advanced material on computer science and extra features of Visual Basic
• Includes a CD containing the Visual Basic 6.0 Working Model (a student version of Visual Basic), as well as program files from the book
