What's in Chapter 1?

Chapter 1 introduces you to the .NET Framework and the integrated development environment you’ll be using to develop VB.NET programs. By the end of this chapter, you’ll be comfortable with the IDE and the basic .NET structure, so you’ll be ready to learn how to create your first application.

What’s in Chapter 2?

Chapter 2 teaches you the basics of designing, coding, and testing VB.NET applications. When you’re done, you’ll be able to develop simple applications on your own…and the exercises in this chapter will give you practice doing just that.

What’s in Chapter 3?

Chapter 3 gets you going with Visual Basic language elements that let you control program processing, like assignment statements (for assigning values to different types of variables), arithmetic and conditional expressions, nested If statements, and Select Case statements. At the end, you’ll be able to write the code for simple applications of your own.

What’s in the Sample Book Applications?

To give you a better idea of the professional approach this book takes, this file contains 5 sample applications: a Financial Calculations application that consists of three separate forms (chapter 1); an invoicing form that calculates a discount amount and invoice total based on an order amount (chapter 2); the Financial Calculations application with an enhanced interface (chapter 10); a book maintenance app that uses XML (chapter 14); and an object-oriented invoicing app that uses classes for the entire batch of invoices, individual invoices, and individual line items (chapter 15).

What’s in All Book Files?

This file is for people who have already bought a copy of Murach’s Beginning Visual Basic .NET. It contains all the files that you might expect to find if we’d packaged a CD with the book: (1) all of the applications that are presented in the book; (2) all of the support material you need to do the exercises; and (3) descriptions of new projects that you can develop on your own. Appendix A in the book describes these files in detail and tells you how to install and use them.
