Who this book is for
This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to use
VB 2005 to develop Windows Forms applications. If you're
using a later release of Visual Studio than 2005, please
see Murach's Visual Basic
2008 instead.
If you have experience with a previous version of Visual Basic, you'll
learn all the features that make VB 2005 such a powerful
language. If you've never used VB before, you'll start
at the beginning but move at a pace that has you developing
business applications in a minimum of time. And if you're
new to the .NET environment, you'll learn how to use
Visual Studio 2005 and all of the great productivity
tools it has to offer as you learn Visual Basic.
If you have a copy of Murach’s Beginning Visual Basic .NET...
If you're upgrading to VB 2005, we recommend that you get a copy of this new book.
For one thing, database handling has changed dramatically
in VB 2005, and the 5-chapter section on this subject
is a great primer on the skills you now need. But beyond
that, this book presents all of the best 2005 features
whenever they're appropriate, so you can learn them
in context and see when and how to apply them. And the
object-oriented programming section clearly explains
how your applications actually work.
In short, this book will be an invaluable reference to you whenever you're developing VB 2005 applications.
