Synopsis
This book maintains the strong pedagogy that has been used to teach students how to program in Visual Basic since VB 4.0. Instructors and students like this book because it does not just teach Visual Basic, it incorporates basic concepts of programming, problem solving, and programming logic. This edition has been completely revised, including the text, website and instructor's materials.
From the Publisher
Student CD packaged with text for FREE that contains Student Data Files for exercises in the text and end-of-chapter materials. Students use this CD to practice their newly learned Visual Basic skills.
Object Oriented Programming: Visual Basic .NET is the first version of Visual Basic that is truly object-oriented. The coverage of the book stresses this fact. Creating classes is introduced much earlier than previous versions and includes several examples of inheritance and parameterized constructors.
Enhanced Marginal Tips: These in-chapter tips help students avoid potential trouble spots in their programs and encourage them to develop good programming habits from the start. Based on user feedback, the tips have been increased and identified according to type.
New Online Learning Center! The OLC is the Programming in Visual Basic.NET website and will include self quizzes, additional review questions, links to programming resources, additional programming exercises, and additional case studies. Students can use this material to reinforce what they learned in the text.
Hands-On Programming Examples help students understand the process of planning, writing, and executing Visual Basic programs. After an important concept has been explained, a Hands-On Programming Exercise implements the newly learned skill in a way that will ensure the students understand the skill every time.
Feedback Questions within chapter give students time to reflect on the current topic and to evaluate their understanding of the details.
Tips and Shortcuts for Mastering the VB Environment is an appendix that brings together the many helpful in-chapter tips to serve as a reference for the student.
End-of-Chapter Material includes Summary, Key Terms, Review Questions, and Programming Exercises. Helps reinforce the chapter content.
