Murach college courseware
The books that follow all have Instructor's CDs and student materials so they can easily be used in college courses. To find out more about the courseware for a specific book, just click on its link.
Visual Basic 2005/2008, C# 2005, ASP.NET 2.0, and ADO.NET 2.0
For VB and C# instruction, we've created core books
that teach how to use Visual Studio and the .NET classes
to create Windows Forms applications. Then, a second
book in each language covers ASP.NET programming. Each
two-book series was written by the same team, so the
books are tightly integrated, enabling your students
to make an easy transition from your core VB or C# class
into ASP.NET training.
Currently, we have instructors using the core books
for first programming courses, advanced courses, and
two-semester VB or C# courses. We have instructors using
the ASP.NET books for one- or two-semester web programming
courses. And we have instructors using the two-book
sets for anywhere from two to four semesters of .NET
instruction.

For VB 2005 instruction, we also offer a book on ADO.NET
that can be used for both beginning and advanced database
courses. It interfaces easily with our core VB and ASP.NET
books, and you can use it at any point after your students
have the core skills covered in Murach's Visual Basic 2005.
ADO.NET 2.0 Database Programming with VB 2005
SQL Server 2005
More than 75 schools adopted the first edition of this
book. Now, the 2005 edition has been updated to use
the Management Studio instead of the Enterprise Manager.
And it presents the 2005 XML integration and CLR integration
features.
SQL Server 2005 for Developers
Java
The first edition of our core Java book came out in 2001 and was an immediate success because it took a new, straightforward approach to object-oriented programming that focused on business applications...no "toy" applications and no theory without showing application. Before long, our book had been adopted by more than 100 schools, and it received high praise from both instructors and students.
Now, in its subsequent editions for the JDK 5 and SE 6 versions of Java, our core Java book works better than ever. And our Servlets and JSP book is the perfect book for a subsequent course in Java web programming.

IBM mainframe
In the 1980s and 1990s, we built our reputation on books for IBM mainframe programmers. Today, we're seeing a slight resurgence in mainframe training, and our customers tell us that our books are still the best training materials anywhere on the market. So if you're still teaching COBOL, ours is the only book that presents COBOL the way it's used in the real world (books like Stern & Stern don't). And our CICS, DB2, and JCL books work far better than anything that's available from IBM.

.NET 1.x
We still carry the .NET 1.x editions of two of our Visual Basic books. So if you're using that version of .NET, you may be interested in them.
