McKeown and Piercy's book shows how to write code with Visual Basic.Net, and gives readers the tools they need to gain a fundamental understanding of traditional programming logic, concepts, and techniques. Their unique approach enables readers to take the programming skills they've learned and apply them to other computer languages. * New coverage of the .net platform. * Includes a copy of a limited version of VB.net. * Covers basic programming logic as well as the features of the VB interface.
A book able to explain VB 6 in simple words with simplicity, I just bought the book for a program (VB 98) dated back to 1998, but a good book from the use I am given to it. All the topics are treated with sense and simplicity, making the language of programming easy. Good for everyone interested to learn the basics of VB 98.
A great tool for anyone wanting to get into .NET

The author of this book speaks from his worldwide experience with the .NET framework and E-commerce. He takes lectures and conducts seminars throughout the world and disperses his knowledge freely to those he teaches. I was fortunate to be present for one of his courses in Auckland, New Zealand and the information I have received at that 6-day seminar, as backed up in his book is currently enabling me to better my career in IT by providing me with an extra edge to my technical skill set. Great book! I highly recommend you read it.
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.
