A quick and easy way to get started with Visual Basic. Many examples, exercises and end of course projects to give the reader plenty of hands on practice. There are thirteen chapters starting with the basics of VB and ending at using simple graphics. This is a beginners tutorial for the Microsoft Visual Basic programming language. Lots of examples, lots of step-by-step exercises, lots of exercises to encourage the student to practice the concepts learned in each lesson. Visual Basic is easy to learn, easy to use and the lessons learned can apply to moving on to other Microsoft programming languages and even to online technologies like ASP and ASP.NET.
Getting Starting with Visual Basic takes a step-by-step approach, helping students understand the logic behind developing quality programs while introducing the Visual Basic language. Using Visual Basic .NET, the 3rd Edition is written in clear, easy-to-understand language, covering all the necessary introductory programming topics to create fun and workable programs. This book takes a unique approach by describing just the objects, controls, and programming constructs needed to complete that chapter's topic. Then each chapter builds on the previous chapter to give the student a full knowledge of programming in Visual Basic by the time they reach the end of the book. This approach keeps the chapters on the smaller side without sacrificing content and helps the student stay focused by avoiding material that isn't immediately relevant and useful. Each chapter has an In-Chapter Project that is described in detail starting with why the program is needed, has a design phase (with drawings, property settings, and pseudocode), discusses objects/controls and Basic programming constructs needed, and includes a complete printout with running screenshots. This book is printed in full color to give advantage to the screenshots which are plentiful, averaging one screenshot per content page. The text is designed for students who have no prior programming background. It starts with installing Visual Studio on the student's computer, but may be skipped by more experienced students who will benefit from the chapters covering databases, Web applications, and other advanced topics. Each chapter covers a major set of programming topics concepts to build knowledge as the student progresses through the book. While the screenshots are from Visual Basic 2015, this book has been tested and found compatible with all versions of Visual Basic .NET from 2010 through 2017. Getting Started with Visual Basic will set you firmly on your way to mastering the language and becoming a proficient programmer. For more information see www.GettingStartedWithVisualBasic.com.
This book provides an introduction to Visual Basic 6.0, using slow-paced discussion to help students with no previous programming experience master the concepts that lead to success with VB. The book includes the hallmark pedagogocial features that readers of Gaddis books have come to expect.
