Appropriate for all introductory-to-intermediate level courses in programming with Visual Basic .NET; and for all introductory courses in computer programming or object-oriented programming utilizing Visual Basic .NET.
Visual Basic is the most popular introductory programming language at most colleges and universities-and with Microsoft's new Visual Basic .NET, it can also be used to introduce fundamental object-oriented programming concepts. From start to finish, Visual Basic .NET Primer Plus is designed to teach solid object-oriented programming skills to students with no programming experience. Students are led through a careful sequence of topics designed to build a solid foundation of knowledge and skills for all forms of object-oriented VB.NET development, including Web and database programming. The authors draw on extensive experience teaching student programmers and working in real-world development projects. Unlike many VB.NET introductory books, they carefully explain what is happening "behind the scenes," so students gain a deep understanding of objects, VB.NET, and the entire .NET platform.
