A propos de ce titre

Synopsis :

Visual Basic has begun to replace COBOL as an introductory programming language for CIS and MIS students. This book teaches programming logic without exposing the student to an excessive amount of VB controls. It achieves a balance between demonstrating the power and excitement of Visual Basic and the need to teach traditional programming logic. It also allows students to transfer what they've learned to other computer languages. Throughout the text a case is followed which helps students to apply what they are learning so that they understand how an actual information system is created for a situation with which they are familiar. It contains "It's Your Turn" (IYT) exercises to help students complete the same example as is discussed in the text. IYT's are linked to the code tables (which show all of the code for every program), and to the screen capture figures to help the student do the work. All code is shown in code tables so students can create the same examples as discussed in the text by reproducing the code shown in code tables.

Quatrième de couverture:

Learn programming logic, while harnessing the power of Visual Basic 6.0!

Now with Patrick McKeown and Craig Piercy′s new Second Edition, you′ll not only discover how to write code with this exciting and powerful language, you′ll also gain a fundamental understanding of traditional programming logic, concepts, and techniques. This unique approach enables you to take the programming skills you′ve learned and apply them to other computer languages.

FEATURES

• The new edition includes a new chapter on VB Script, complete code for examples discussed in the text, more tips, and more homework problems in every chapter.
• A running case is integrated throughout the text that helps students understand how an actual information system is created.
• Each chapter contains a discussion of specific concepts, keystroke instructions, screen capture figures, and end–of–chapter exercises that help to reinforce the material.
• A summary of the Visual Basic elements and programming statements introduced in each cha pter is included along with a list of key terms.
• It′s Your Turn exercises at the end of each section develop programming skills so that students "learn by doing" not just reading.
• All of the code included in the text can be downloaded from the book′s Web site at http://www.negia.net/–vbbook. This site also provides students with data files that they′ll need to use in order to complete various exercises.
