Description: Pairing fundamental programming concepts with business applications and also fun and engaging game applications, MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC 2010: RELOADED, 4E provides a solid foundation in programming principles and how to use them. The book begins by covering the basics, like creating user interfaces, and understanding variables, constants, and calculations. Building upon this knowledge, coverage progresses to more advanced topics like creating classes and objects and using ADO.NET, LINQ, and ASP.NET. This edition leverages the powerful pedagogy of previous editions, but brings it up-to-date with Visual Basic 2010 and new examples and applications. Product Benefits: - A game application at the end of each chapter, to engage and motivate the reader.
- Exercises are designated as MODIFY THIS, INTRODUCTORY, INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED, SWAT THE BUGS, and DISCOVERY.
- Mini-quizzes are strategically placed to test students' knowledge at various points in each chapter. Answers to the questions are provided in Appendix A.
- Each chapter contains elements designed specifically for the three different learning styles. Videos are provided for visual and auditory learners. Try It! files are provided for kinesthetic learners, who learn by doing.
- Two Programming Tutorials at the end of each chapter provide step-by-step instructions for applying chapter concepts in business and game applications to engage and motivate the reader.
- "How-To" boxes highlight important concepts and the ways that they can be effectively applied.
- Full applications that include both user interface and full code are used so that readers learn coding principles in the context of the larger application.
- Can be purchased with Visual Basic 2010. Contact your sales representative for more information.
- SAM Test bank available.
