Learning to Program in Visual Basic

About this book

This book is a straightforward guide to the Visual Basic programming language and programming techniques. It covers all of the practical programming skills that may be required up to GCSE level and for those at AS Level with limited exposure to VB. It is suitable for experienced programmers, students, or individuals with very little or no programming experience in other languages. It teaches basic syntax and programming techniques and introduces a number of useful features such as: 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, providing an alternative to writing to a text file when data needs to be stored and retrieved; and the Visual Studio debugger, which can be used to help find elusive logic errors.
