Computer Science

• Completely up-to-date with the release of Visual Basic® 2005.
• Extensive coverage of database programming using SQL Server with the VB 2005 components.
• An application-driven approach with analysis, design, implementation, debugging, and testing.
• Thorough coverage of Web programming with Web services and databases, using Visual Studio's new internal Web server.
• Stepped-out, practical tutorials place programming concepts into a real-world context, making them more tangible for students.
• When purchased new, this textbook comes with a CD-ROM that includes the complete Visual Basic 2005 and Web Developer Express software package.

• Complete Visual Basic® 2005 Express software package comes with each new student edition.
• All-new material on Creating Web Applications, ASP.NET, Web forms, and databases.
• The Fourth Edition incorporates the new features of Visual Basic® 2005:

• Database binding controls and data adapters simplify writing SQL queries so no student database accounts need to be set up in computer labs, making classroom instruction seamless (chapters 3 and 5).
• Visual Studio® 2005 challenges students to write multi-tier and component-based applications (chapters 6 and 7).
• The Web design tools are easier than ever to use with intuitive table layout, master and detail pages, and a helpful cascading style sheet editor to encourage students to design professional-looking Web applications (chapters 8–11).
• Each machine runs a local Web server, allowing students to test their applications in a safe and efficient environment.
• Deploying applications (and turning in assignments) is as easy as copying a single file folder.
