Product Description

Product Description
All the Visual Basic algorithms you′ll ever need and how to use them

This book/CD package arms you with a library of powerful algorithms completely implemented in Visual Basic source code. Just as importantly, it shows you how, when, and where to use them . . . or not to use them. It covers classic VB algorithms as well as the latest VB object–oriented techniques for handling just about any design requirement you′ll encounter, such as managing data structures, sorting, searching, hashing, networking, and other important program functions.

In plain English, and with the help of sample code and scads of working examples, VB expert Rod Stephens explains how algorithms work and:
∗ Describes techniques for selecting the best ones for your projects
∗ Tutors you in methods for analyzing how they will perform in your programs
∗ Acquaints you with programming techniques for solving problems as they arise
∗ Supplies algorithms for most programming situations
∗ Covers new object–oriented VB algorithms–how they work and how to use them
∗ Introduces new concepts and techniques for programming in multiple versions of VB.

The CD–ROM supplies you with:
∗ Source code for all the algorithms described
∗ Test programs to try them out
∗ Examples and tests to help you gauge and fine–tune your skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for all serious programmers., 7 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Hats off to Rod Stephens. Finally, there is someone who is more concerned with presenting efficient, crisp, clever algorithms than teaching by-rote procedures. Clear examples are provided on CD-ROM, using the latest OOP techniques available in VB. Even if you never intend to write a B+Tree database or a QuickSort algorithm, this book is a recommended read. It will satisfy your curiosity and introduce you to some seminal algorithms, developed over the years by great thinkers in the fields of computing and mathematics. If this book engages you as it has me, then it will make you a better programmer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - very useful and clear, 16 Nov 2004
By A Customer
Brilliant book. It explained all sorts of concepts I had never thought of before and gave me all sorts of ideas about how to do things that I couldn't have done before.

Not necessarily the sort of algorithms you use every day, but when you need them, they are really useful.

Worth reading right throuh so you have an idea what's in there, then when you find you need an algorithm, you can go bak and read that bit again in more depth.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well written but short on variety, 9 Sep 2003
By A Customer
I would have expected a book with this title to contain a decent library and variety of algorithms but, although the book is well written and Rod Stephens is undoubtedly and expert in his field, I found it short on variety - particularly considering the price. The book is excellent if you want ready-made algorithms for lists, trees and sorts, but that's about all the variety there is.
