Murach's Visual Basic 2005
The first edition of this book (Beginning Visual
Basic .NET) was used by more than 100 colleges,
universities, and community colleges, primarily for
introductory courses. But now, we've thoroughly enhanced
the first edition so this edition can be used for introductory
or advanced courses. In fact, some schools are using
it for a two- or three-course sequence.
For an introductory course, this book works even better
than the first edition. But unlike books like Bradley/Millspaugh
or Zak, our book gives your students a practical view
of how Windows applications are developed in the real
world.
By the time your students complete chapter 7,
for example, they will be able to develop bulletproof
applications that do data validation and exception handling.
And by the time they complete chapter 12, they'll be
able to develop object-oriented applications.
For advanced courses, you're really going to be hard-pressed to find a better book. In sections 1 and 2, for example, your students can review the essential skills that they often don't learn in introductory courses that use other books. In section 3, your students can learn how to develop Windows database applications. In section 4, your students can learn all of the intricacies of object-oriented programming. And because the sections are modular, you can teach the subjects in whatever sequence you prefer.
