Learning to Program with Visual Basic
This text is for Intro to Programming courses in CIS/MIS departments that use Visual Basic 6.0. Visual Basic has begun to replace COBOL as an introductory programming language for CIS/MIS students due to its ease of use and the near universal move to the Windows operating system. McKeown and Piercy's text addresses the need for a text that offers an adequate balance between the demonstration of the Visual Basic interface and teaching programming logic that the student must know regardless of the language. The goal of this book is "to achieve a balance between demonstrating the power and excitement of Visual Basic and the need to teach traditional programming logic."

No knowledge required; lots of understanding gained
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Without any knowledge of programming whatsoever, the reader learns the main programming aims (input, storage, evaluation, repetition, comparison/selection, and output) using Visual Basic as an example paradigm.A lot of hands-on exercises are provided throughout. A complete application is gradually developed through all the chapters, together with smaller applications which illustrate specific points.While the editing of the book leaves something to be desired (e.g., incomplete sentences, punctuation errors, occasional code inaccuracies), this is a very worthwhile book indeed. I highly recommend it for the author's lack of assumptions and obvious understanding of the beginner's needs.
