If you're new to Visual Basic or the .NET environment,
this book will have you developing complete business
applications in less time than you ever expected. In
fact, programmers tell us that this is the best VB.NET
book they've ever used…and some of them have used
half a dozen.
What does this book do that the others don’t?
The first 7 chapters teach you the VB.NET basics using
a careful step-by-step approach that lets you set your
own pace, depending on your level of experience. By
the time you finish this section, you'll be writing
your first VB.NET programs; you'll understand object-oriented
programming; and you'll be prepared for rapid progress
as you read the chapters that follow.
The remaining chapters build on your skills so you
can develop the kind of VB.NET applications that businesses
rely on every day. That means you'll know:
- how to develop a sophisticated GUI with a variety
of controls, menus, toolbars, and more
- how to use the .NET classes for a wide variety of
purposes, including working with dates, strings, arrays,
collections, structures, and files
- how to use XML
- how to use advanced OOP techniques
- the basics of writing database applications with
ADO.NET
- the basics of writing web applications with ASP.NET
That breadth of content is what makes this a great
first .NET book for anyone.
To make sure you can develop real-world applications
when you’re done, this book presents 18 complete,
business applications in its 20 chapters. As we see
it, that’s the only way to show how all of the
code of a program fits together…yet tested applications
like these are missing from most other books.
