Product Description
Product Description
An introduction to programming in Microsoft and Visual Basic on the IBM PC and IBM PC compatibles. This text contains programming projects that reflect the variety of ways that computers are used in business and engineering and presents games and general interest topics. It uses case studies that focus on programming applications where the problems are analyzed and the programs are developed with top-down charts and pseudocode. The book covers strings throughout to prepare readers for substantial string handling programs, and introduces arrays gently. This second edition updates the operating system to Windows 95 and the programming language to Visual Basic 4.0. It also expands coverage of data control to include a discussion of the use of Visual Basic as a front end for database programming and also explains how to access the Internet with Visual Basic.

This book is packed with examples and critically tasks which build confidnece and ability. It moves at a good pace and doesnt dwell on simple design tasks. It covers classes and introduces oop. It has a great glossary and other appendices that are useful references. - I wish the author would write something to bridge the gap between the advanced books and this one - You will not be dissapointed with this book

It is my text book!
2 Oct 1997
Format:Paperback
I used this book in a programming class for college. I didn't like it. I did like that it came with a version of the software, so that I could practice at home, but otherwise...there are better out there!
A great book for beginners and intermediate programmer's.
22 Jun 1997
Format:Paperback
From the outset "An Introduction To Programming Using Visual Basic 4.0" is geared towards being a textbook. This approach is what makes it such a superior text for learning visual basic and more importantly the fundamentals of programming. While other books on programming with visual basic seem to want to push the reader at a very rapid pace, leaving them at times wondering if they have truly comprehended the material before rushing on to the next topic. David Schneider's book, on the other hand, covers both the language and the concepts of programming thoroughly and provides plenty of practice exercises as well as real world problem solving scenarios.
Although it may be difficult to find this book on the shelf of a regular bookstore, I highly recommend it to the novice programmer who wants to gain a strong understanding of the concepts of programming and the details of the Visual Basic language.
