Beginning Visual Basic .NET (with source code)

If you’re new to Visual Basic .NET, this book gets you started right. By chapter 3, you’ll be developing simple but complete applications. By chapter 5, you’ll be doing some serious programming. And by chapter 7, you’ll be able to code, test, and debug object-oriented programs with Visual Basic .NET.

Of course, there’s a lot more to Visual Basic .NET than one beginning book can cover. But this book gets you started with all of the important features and capabilities of Visual Basic .NET and prepares you for learning more about them on your own. That’s why we say that no other book or course will get you started faster or better than this book.

This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to use Visual Basic .NET for developing business applications. It works if you have no programming experience at all. It works if you have programming experience with another language like COBOL or Java. It works if you already know Visual Basic 6. And it works if you’ve already read three or four other Visual Basic .NET books and still don’t know how to develop a real-world business application.

If you’re completely new to programming, the prerequisites are minimal. First, you need to be familiar with the Windows interface. This means that you have used Windows applications like Word or Excel so you’re comfortable with tasks like opening, saving, printing, and closing files. Second, you should know how to use the Windows Explorer to copy folders and files from one location to another.
