Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic.NET - Softcover

McMillan, Michael

 
9780521539838: Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic.NET

Synopsis

Michael McMillan provides a complete presentation of the object-oriented features of the Visual Basic .NET language for advanced Visual Basic programmers. Beginning with an introduction to abstract data types and their initial implementation using structures, he explains standard OOP topics including class design, inheritance, access modifiers and scoping issues, abstract classes, design and implemention of interfaces and design patterns, and refactoring in VB.NET. More advanced OOP topics are included as well, such as reflection, object persistence, and serialization. To tie everything together, McMillan demonstrates sound OOP design and implementation principles through practical examples of standard Windows applications, database applications using ADO.NET, Web-based applications using ASP.NET, and Windows service applications.

Review

"...it is written clearly, and any student who has successfully completed a programming course in any language should be able to use it as a stepping-stone into the world of applications programming in Microsoft's dot-NET framework. Recommended." S.L. Tanimoto, University of Washington, Choice

"Beginning with an overview of the syntax and primary constructs of the VB.NET language, the book elaborates standard object-oriented programming topics including class, inheritance, access modifiers and scoping issues, abstract classes, design and implementation of interfaces and design patterns, and refactoring in VB.NET...All in all, the book will help VB users to develop a firm understanding of object-oriented programming in VB.NET." ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes

Book Description

This thorough tutorial covers all the details of designing object-oriented programs using the Visual Basic .NET language. Along with the standard OOP topics (classes, inheritance, and interfaces), the author discusses less-covered topics such as reflection, object persistence, design patterns, and refactoring. The book ends with example applications of OOP principles using ADO.NET and ASP.NET.
