About this title

Synopsis

This book is aimed at computing students who need to be familiar with Visual Basic for courses up to, and including, degree level. It has been specifically written for those students who have some programming experience (typically Pascal or Basic) and who need a concise and practical introductory-level text on Visual Basic. The text introduces the concepts and techniques of the language across a broad front, and then goes more deeply into key aspects of the system, using larger and more interesting example programs for illustration. Where appropriate, short in-text programming tasks are included to enable students to practice immediately the techniques the text is introducing. At the end of most chapters there are longer programming exercises, some of which have sample answers at the end of the book for student self-testing. The book was written around Visual Basic 3.0 Standard Edition, but virtually all the techniques and concepts apply equally well to Visual Basic 2.0.
