Beginning Visual Basic 2010

Visual Basic 2010 offers a great deal of functionality in bothtools and language. No one book could ever cover Visual Basic 2010in its entirety—you would need a library of books. What thisbook aims to do is to get you started as quickly and easily aspossible. It shows you the roadmap, so to speak, of what there isand where to go. Once we've taught you the basics of creatingworking applications (creating the windows and controls, how yourcode should handle unexpected events, what object-orientedprogramming is, how to use it in your applications, and so on)we’ll show you some of the areas you might want to try yourhand at next.
