"This book is an introduction to programming usingMicrosoft's Visual Basic .NET 2010. It is intended for novice programmers with little or no programming experience or no experience withVisual Basic. The text emphasizes programming logic and good programmingtechniques with generous explanations of programming concepts written from a nontechnical point of view. It stresses input, processing, and output and sequence, selection, and repetition in code development. File input and output (I/O) and arrays are included. Later chapters introduce objects, event programming, and databases. By taking a slow and steady approach to programming ideas, this book builds new concepts from what the reader has already learned. VB tips and quips inject both humor and insight"--Provided by publisher. "This is an introduction to programming using Microsoft's Visual Basic.NET 2010.

VB tips and quips inject both humor and insight. The book includes numerous programming examples and exercises, case studies, tutorials, and "fixing a program" sections for an in-depth look at programming problems and tools. Quizzes and review questions throughout each chapter get students to think about the materials and how to use them. Each chapter has a summary and glossary for extra review. The accompanying Web site, www.cambridge.org/us/McKeown, has code downloads, I/O, and database files from small, simple files to large files with thousands of records, flowcharts, deskchecks and audits to aid with program design, coding, and debugging
PowerPoint files for every chapter
and hundreds of ideas for programs and projects"--Provided by publisher.
