Based on the newest version of Microsoft’s VB. NET, this revision of Schneider’s best-selling text is designed for students with no prior computer programming experience. The author uses Visual Basic .NET to explore the fundamentals of programming, building a strong foundation that will give students a sustainable understanding of programming. A broad range of examples, case studies, exercises, and programming projects give students significant hands-on experience. A “tried and true” text, this book has been consistently praised by both students and instructors.

A thought-provoking approach that is more challenging to students — Does not water down presentation like other texts in this market.

 

Teaches actual programming, not just what students can do with VB. NET.

 

Teaches VB. NET in the context of object-oriented programming, not the other way around.

 

Well-chosen examples that illustrate each new concept. 

 

Carefully designed exercise sets — Contains 150 examples and over 1,000 exercises, substantially more than competing books.

 

Practice problems — Carefully selected problems with solutions focus on potential trouble spots and provide a warm-up to the exercises.

 

Instructor Resource Center - contains the solutions to every exercise and programming project, a test item file, Powerpoints, and more for each chapter.

A new section on Graphics (section 9.4).

 

Fully updated example text and data – Examples include tax codes, social security forms/data, baseball statistics, and more.

 

Ten new programming projects – Much more robust and interesting than projects found in competing texts.

 

Updated screenshots throughout – All screens updated using Windows XP.

 

• New section on Printing in VB. NET 2005.

 

• New section devoted to the incorporation of inheritance in objects (one of the major changes to the software from Visual Basic 6.0)

 

All examples run with VB. NET Express and full versions of VB. NET 2K5 (MSDN AA version).
