Product Description
Product Description
For one-semester courses in Introduction to Programming and Introduction to Visual Basic.
Ideal for those who have never programmed before or who have only rudimentary programming experience, this introduction to Visual Basic begins with the problem-solving and programming concepts that are fundamental to all programming—to help students master the fundamentals required to create programs from scratch. The first four chapters use a template to emphasize fundamentals without having to deal with many Windows environment considerations. The remainder continues to build on fundamentals with additional Windows object-oriented features. Along the way, students develop a solid understanding of program analysis, design, language elements, documentation, control structures, testing, algorithms, input/output processing, file processing, and data structures.
From the Back Cover
Visual Basic is a powerful, industry-standard language used to develop a wide range of applications. Business and industry use it for developing stand-alone programs, front ends to large-scale database systems, Internet interactivity (VB Script), office automation enhancements (such as Microsoft™ Office), and other types of software.
The fundamentals of programming require understanding various elements such as statements, variables, data types, and. expressions. However, a programmer also needs to understand a bigger picture: to analyze, design, document, and test the program under development. In addition, analytical and troubleshooting skills are critical. This book covers each of these key activities in program development, emphasizing the problem solving and programming concepts fundamental to all programming tasks.
If you have never programmed before, or have limited programming experience, this book is for you. Programming for Technology Students Using Visual Basic can help you master the fundamentals required to create programs. With the use of a fictitious small manufacturing company, the author provides a unique case study approach to add interest and context for programming in the real world.
New features to this edition include:
- Integrated hands-on exercises throughout each chapter.
- An updated design, using color to emphasize important topics and useful information.
- A Microsoft™ Visual Basic 6.0 Working Model CD.
- Additional troubleshooting sections and many new and updated diagrams.
Instructors who are using this book for a course may obtain the accompanying Instructor's Manual (ISBN 0-13-041208-2) free of charge.

Spasov, Visual Basic
26 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
Spasov does OK in explaining most things. It would be easier if I had some previous exposure to Microsoft Visual Basic. My copy of the book had pages 84 to 109 all mixed up. It was an effort to keep looking for the next page.
Surprisingly disliked...

Format:Paperback
I used Spasov's Programming for Technology Students in a course this semester and was surprised at the student response to the book: they universally deplored the book.
In selecting the book, I felt that it was an easy to read and easy to understand book that covered the basics of Visual Basic and programming. I still feel that way, however, I'll be changing books next time around.
