About this title

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. For beginning programmers.

From the Back Cover:

Visual Basic is a powerful, industry-standard language used to develop a wide range of applications. Business and industry use it for developing stand-alone programs, front ends to large-scale database systems, Internet interactivity (VB Script), office automation enhancements (such as Microsoft™ Office), and other types of software.

The fundamentals of programming require understanding various elements such as statements, variables, data types, and. expressions. However, a programmer also needs to understand a bigger picture: to analyze, design, document, and test the program under development. In addition, analytical and troubleshooting skills are critical. This book covers each of these key activities in program development, emphasizing the problem solving and programming concepts fundamental to all programming tasks.

If you have never programmed before, or have limited programming experience, this book is for you. Programming for Technology Students Using Visual Basic can help you master the fundamentals required to create programs. With the use of a fictitious small manufacturing company, the author provides a unique case study approach to add interest and context for programming in the real world.

New features to this edition include:

• Integrated hands-on exercises throughout each chapter.
• An updated design, using color to emphasize important topics and useful information.
• A Microsoft™ Visual Basic 6.0 Working Model CD.
• Additional troubleshooting sections and many new and updated diagrams.

Instructors who are using this book for a course may obtain the accompanying Instructor's Manual (ISBN 0-13-041208-2) free of charge.
