Synopsis

Ideal for those who have never programmed before or who have only basic programming experience, this introduction to Visual Basic begins with the problem-solving and programming concepts that are fundamental to all programming -- to help learners master the fundamentals required to create programs from scratch. The first four chapters use a template to emphasize fundamentals without having to deal with Windows environment considerations (e.g., events and objects). The remainder continues to build on fundamentals in a Windows object-oriented event-driven environment. Along the way, readers will develop a solid understanding of program analysis, design, language elements, documentation, control structures, testing, algorithms, input/output processing, file processing, and data structures.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Ideal for those who have never programmed before or who have only rudimentary programming experience, this introduction to Visual Basic begins with the problem-solving and programming concepts that are fundamental to all programming -- to help readers master the fundamentals required to create programs from scratch. The first four chapters use a template to emphasize fundamentals without having to deal with Windows environment considerations (e.g., events and objects). The remainder continues to build on fundamentals in a Windows object-oriented event-driven environment. Features an accompanying CD-ROM. Covers both Visual Basic 4 and Visual Basic 5. Explains program analysis, design, language elements, documentation, control structures, testing, algorithms, input/output processing, file processing, and data structures. Explains multimedia programming, use of the Windows Component object Model (COM) (formerly Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), and database programming. Uses scenarios of a fictitious small manufacturing company -- Cougar Canoe Company -- to provide context for programming in the real world. For anyone interested in learning to program in Visual Basic learning programming in general using Visual Basic.
