Description: Ideal for those who have never programmed before or who have only rudimentary programming experience, this introduction to Visual Basic begins with the problem-solving and programming concepts that are fundamental to all programming -- to help readers master the fundamentals required to create programs from scratch. The first four chapters use a template to emphasize fundamentals without having to deal with Windows environment considerations (e.g., events and objects). The remainder continues to build on fundamentals in a Windows object-oriented event-driven environment. Features an accompanying CD-ROM. Covers both Visual Basic 4 and Visual Basic 5. Explains program analysis, design, language elements, documentation, control structures, testing, algorithms, input/output processing, file processing, and data structures. Explains multimedia programming, use of the Windows Component object Model (COM) (formerly Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), and database programming. Uses scenarios of a fictitious small manufacturing company -- Cougar Canoe Company -- to provide context for programming in the real world. For anyone interested in learning to program in Visual Basic learning programming in general using Visual Basic.
