Programming and Problem Solving with Visual Basic.NET
Nell Dale, Michael McMillan, Chip Weems, Mark Headington
Résumé
Visual Basic is arguably the most popular computer programming language for application development in the United States and around the world today. Visual Basic is also an excellent language to teach as a "first" computer language because of its easy-to-learn syntax and flexibility. This book treats Visual Basic as a serious programming language and not as just another Windows application. One concern that is frequently voiced when discussing the differences between Visual Basic and C++ is the level of object-oriented programming supported by Visual Basic. With the release of VB. NET, the language will support all the major features of object-oriented programming-encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.
- Provides an extensive discussion of how to use the Visual Basic Graphical User Interface (GUI) throughout the text, helping students with the primary means of doing input/output in Visual Basic.
- Object-oriented programming is emphasized very early on in the text, allowing the text to introduce students to object-oriented design methodology and not just the basics of writing object-oriented programs.
- The most important feature of this book is its emphasis on developing fundamental computer programming skills, rather than the overwhelming number of features found in Visual Basic.NET.
- The primary programming constructs most introductory texts cover are included within this text.
- Syntax and Semantics
- Numeric Programming
- Selection Control Structures
- Repetition Control Structures
- Arrays
- Fundamentals of Graphical User Interface Design
