The latest incarnation of Visual Basic is called Visual Basic 2005 Visual Basic programmers are enthusiastically embracing the new features of the language Likewise, students learning their first programming language will find Visual Basic 2005 the ideal tool to understand the development of computer programs My objectives when writing this text were as follows: To develop focused chapters Rather than covering many topics superficially, I concentrate on important subjects and cover them thoroughly To use examples and exercises that students can appreciate and with which they can relate, and feel comfortable I frequently use real data Examples do not have so many embellishments that students are distracted from the programming techniques illustrated To produce compactly written text that students will find both readable and informative The main points of each topic are discussed first, and then the peripheral details are presented as comments To teach good programming practices that are in step with modern programming methodology Problem-solving techniques and structured programming are discussed early and used throughout the book The style follows objectoriented programming principles To provide insights into the major applications of computers Index [A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] [H] [I] [J] [K] [L] [M] [N] [O] [P] [Q] [R] [S] [T] [U] [V] [W] [Z] Quotation mark character
