My choice for the text in our new VB.NET course

At the college where I teach, we are in the process of starting up new major and minor programs in management information systems (MIS). Our first offering in the program will be a new course in programming with VB.NET that will be offered in the summer of 2008. Furthermore, the course will be offered in an accelerated format which will require the student to do a great deal of the work on their own, Therefore, my examination of this book was for possible adoption as a textbook for this course. After looking it over thoroughly, I have decided that this is the book I will use. The primary background of the student population will be in business and no assumptions can be made concerning previous programming experience. No such assumptions are made by the author; the only computer experience needed is the ability to navigate through a windows environment. The coverage of VB.NET is thorough, at least at the level of the fundamentals. All of the basic control constructs and GUI objects are covered, included file access, class construction and ADO.NET. There were several features that convinced me to adopt this book. *) The structure of the writing; it is clear, concise and at a level appropriate for the students. *) The large number of review questions at the end of each chapter. This will provide additional work the students can do on their own that can easily be corrected online. *) The programming exercises included at the end of each chapter. This will make it very easy to assign programming assignments that are slight alterations of these exercises. *) The large number of color diagrams demonstrating exactly what the student can expect to see on the screen. Developing new courses that are part of a completely new program is always challenging and a bit stressful. With this book, I am confident that the first offering will go smoothly and I can save the stress for future classes in the programs.

First Visual Basic Book For School

I've used this book for a Visual Basic 1 class. You could practically teach yourself through this book. It has a clear presentation of the topics covered and I rate it a 5 out of 5 stars. This is the book you want for an introduction and more to visual basic 2005.
