Simply Visual Basic .NET

For courses in Visual Basic .NET Programming. Unique in its approach, this comprehensive introduction to Visual Basic .NET combines the Deitel™ signature Live-Code™ Approach with a new Application-Driven™ methodology in which students build—from the ground up—real-world applications. As students work through the tutorials, they learn about Visual Basic .NET and its fundamental features. Students begin by learning the basics of programming, and then—through each successive tutorial—build on previously learned concepts while learning new programming features. Students learn GUI design, controls, methods, data types, control structures, methods, arrays, object-oriented programming, strings, sequential files, as well as higher-end topics such as database processing, multimedia and graphics and Web-based applications development.
