9780201742053: Visual Basic.Net for Students

Sinossi

If you have never done any programming before this book is for you! It assumes no prior knowledge of programming. It starts from scratch. It is written in a simple, direct style for maximum clarity. It is aimed at first level students at universities and colleges, but it is also suitable for novices studying alone. Visual Basic.Net is a fully-fledged object-oriented language, supporting encapsulation, single inheritance and polymorphism. In creating Visual Basic.Net, Microsoft have made Visual Basic into an elegant and consistent language. These features all make the language easier to learn, easier to use and more robust. In addition it encourages the use of good programming style. Visual Basic.Net is part of a suite of tools associated with the .Net architecture, but it is also a free-standing programming language. It can be used to write free-standing program code or to create components that fit within the .Net architecture. The authors explain how to use objects early in this book, starting with the ideas of variables, assignment and methods, then introducing using library classes.Next they explain how to use control structures for selection and looping and then comes the treatment of how to write your own classes. The book ensures that the fun element of programming is paramount, so graphics are used right from the start. They are fun, interesting and clearly demonstrate all the important principles of programming. But programs that input and output text are not ignored - they are integrated throughout the text.

Moreover, Visual Basic .NET is  elegant and consistent, which makes it easier to learn, easier to use and more robust. In addition it encourages the use of good programming style.

Key features

  • The authors approach the teaching of object-oriented programming by introducingnew ideas carefully one at a time, rather than all at once. Simple ideas are discussed early, and then incorporated into a more sophisticated context later on

    • The book contains early coverage of object-oriented concepts in line with current teaching practice

    • Graphics are used from the start to promote interest and enjoyment

    • Topics are explained using a wide variety of applications as examples, such as information systems, games and scientific calculations

    • UML diagrams are used throughout the text

    • End-of-chapter pedagogy includes self-test questions, exercises, 'programming principles' and 'programming pitfalls'

    • The companion website at www.booksites.net/bell contains the code of all the programs in the book, a discussion forum and additional resources for instructors.

    Douglas Bell and Mike Parr lecture at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. They have written a number of programming books, including the bestselling Java for Students, 3rd edition, and continue to teach and learn about programming with enthusiasm.
