A clear, concise, step-by-step guide to learn programming in VB

This approachable and handy-sized book has become popular with students looking to learn VB. It is a slim and un-daunting guide (just 128 pages) that is frequently recommended by teachers and schools delivering the GCSE or A Level Computer Science specification as well as hobbyists and those in industry looking to get a quick head start in Visual Basic.

This popular book is a straightforward guide to the VB programming language and programming techniques. It covers all of the practical skills that may be required up to GCSE level and for those at AS Level with limited exposure to Visual Basic. Simple language has been used throughout. It is suitable for both experienced programmers, students or individuals with very little or no programming experience in other languages.

It teaches basic syntax and programming techniques, and introduces several useful features including:

• Developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs), with the visual designer in visual studio.
  
• SQLite, which enables the creation and processing of a database from within a Visual Basic .NET program.This provides an alternative to writing to a text file when data needs to be stored and retrieved.
  
• The Visual Studio debugger, which can be used to help find elusive logic errors.

Questions and exercises are included in every chapter. Answers to these, as well as over 120 VB programs for all the examples and exercises given in the book, are provided to all in a free downloadable pack from the PG Online website.
