Product Description

Would you like to write Windows programs but don’t know where to start?

Visual Basic. NET, the latest distribution of Microsoft’s programming language was designed to let anybody—even people with no prior programming experience—create sophisticated programs with stunning user interfaces, quickly and easily. A true marvel of computing technology, Visual Basic .NET combines BASIC, the only programming language specifically designed to teach beginners how to program, with a completely intuitive drawing program that lets you create cool user interfaces without having to write a single line of code.

Written by computer book author and well–known stand–up comic Wallace Wang, Visual Basic .NET For Dummies offers you a fun and easy way to master VB .NET programming. Featuring crystal–clear explanations along with dozens of working examples, it gives you what you need to tap the power of Visual Basic .NET.  In no time you’ll:

  • Design a user interface
  • Create pull–down menus
  • Write programs on any scale—both large and small
  • Debug your programs
  • Write your own code
  • Work with loops, subrouting, and decision commands
  • Use object–oriented techniques in your programming

Visual Basic .NET For Dummies was designed to give you the confidence and skills you need to start building Windows programs right away—not turn you into a computer scientist. To that end, it features hands–on, jargon–free coverage of the full range of practical VB .NET topics, including:

  • Getting started and using the Visual Basic .NET interface
  • Creating full–featured user interfaces
  • Making menus––including pull–downs, submenus, growing menus, pop–up menus—and showing dialog boxes
  • Writing BASIC code
  • Making programs appear intelligent by using loops and decision commands
  • Writing small subprograms and combining them to make large, robust programs
  • Getting a handle on object–oriented programming

Visual Basic .NET For Dummies is the pain–free way to get up to speed on Visual Basic programming and all the new features in Visual Basic .NET.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dummies come top!, 4 Jun 2003
By IDG1973 (North) - See all my reviews
You know what to expect with Dummies books: a basic but solid grounding to get you up and running quickly and simply. This edition is no different and as a complete beginner I felt a lot more comfortable with the subject after only a couple of days. The material is well presented and easy to read, though the lack of worked examples means a little more effort is required to really take on board the mass of information. This book is well worth it with the CD ROM and leaves you eager to explore the subject further – always the mark of a well written beginner’s book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not enough substance, 6 Oct 2008
By Philip Fernandez "pfer" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read many programming books and many "for dummies" books and have always been impressed.

This one however was a let down.

It was far too basic and there was not enough substance at all.

A lot of the examples were repeated such that five pages could have been condensed into five lines which would leave space for some real substance.

I now need to buy another beginners VB.Net book as after reading this one I couldnt even call myself a beginner

Very disappointing
