Synopsis

Alistair McMonnies takes an object-oriented approach to teaching Visual Basic.Net (VB.Net), the new, fully object-oriented version of Visual Basic. He starts off by covering object-oriented analysis and design and modelling using UML, and then moves on to a detailed discussion of object oriented concepts such as objects and classes. He shows the students how to develop short programs, and also covers more advanced topics such as data structures, components, and database programming. The book will be accompanied by a full supplements package in the form of a companion website containing code for all programs in the book, additional program examples, a case study, and information on using VB to program database applications.

Object-Oriented Programming in Visual Basic .NET

Alistair McMonnies

Approved by author 8th September 2003

 

 

Visual Basic .Net (VB .NET) has been a radical departure from previous versions of Visual Basic. The language is now fully object-oriented, and can be used either to write programs, or to create components that fit within the .NET architecture. If you are learning to program, VB .NET will give you a previously unheard-of mix of power, flexibility and ease of use.

 

The book approaches the language from an object-oriented (OO) perspective, demonstrating that Visual Basic can now be used to develop real industrial-strength OO systems and software components. It starts by covering OO analysis, design and modelling using UML, and then moves on to a full discussion of OO concepts. Advanced topics such as data structures, database applications and software design patterns are also covered. Throughout, students are shown how to develop short programs in order to illustrate the fundamentals of algorithm design and structured programming.
