Ever since we published the first edition of our Visual
Basic .NET book back in 2002, we've been getting comments
like these:
"I have a huge library of computer books. Yours are
THE best! Your Visual Basic book is so good, I opened
it and did the whole application from scratch (even
though I'd never tried VB before)."
"I can't praise this book highly enough. The clarity
Anne uses in picking what to include, when to introduce
it, and how to do so is remarkable."
"I recently picked up your Visual Basic book. A stellar
example of how to impart knowledge. Truly a publication
well worth the price."
"Had I bought your VB book first, I would have saved
myself lots of dollars and several months time."
Now, Anne Boehm continues this tradition of quality
and usefulness in the latest edition of our VB text,
written for Visual Basic 2008.
So if you're new to VB development...or if you're upgrading
to VB 2008 and are looking for an up-to-date reference...you'll
find that this book is packed with the information you
need, delivered in a way that's made earlier editions
such favorites among professional developers:
- It's concise, practical, and crystal-clear in telling
you what you need to know.
- It shows you how to get the most from Visual Studio
2008 as you design, code, debug, and deploy Windows
Forms applications using VB 2008.
- It gives you solid training in the essential skills
that you'll use every day, including data validation...handling
numeric, date, and string data…working with arrays
and collections...handling exceptions...working with
text, binary, and XML files...and understanding how
OOP works.
- It introduces you to LINQ, the biggest news in VB
2008. This exciting new feature lets you use VB to
query almost any data source, from databases to arrays
to XML files. So chapter 23 shows you what LINQ can
do and prepares you for in-depth LINQ training later
on.
- It gives you a 4-chapter section on database programming...far
more than you'll find in any other VB book, even though
database handling is essential in business applications.
- It shows you how to build real-world applications
so you always see how the features you're learning
interact with each other.
- It gives you chapter exercises that let you practice
what you're learning and apply your skills in new
ways.
In short, if you're going to be working with Visual
Basic 2008, take the advice of your fellow developers:
Save yourself some time and money by making this book
your first choice for VB 2008 education and reference. |
