BEGINNING VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS is a self-study or instuctor led "beginning" programming tutorial consisting of 10 Chapters explaining (in simple, easy-to-follow terms) how to build a Visual Basic Express Windows application. Students learn about project design, the Visual Basic Express toolbox, and many elements of the BASIC language. Numerous examples are used to demonstrate every step in the building process. The tutorial also includes several detailed computer projects for students to build and try. These projects include a number guessing game, card game, allowance calculator, drawing program, state capitals game, and several non-violent video games. We also include several college prep bonus projects including a loan calculator, portfolio manager, and a checkbook balancer. BEGINNING VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS is presented using a combination of over 500 pages of course notes and actual Visual Basic Express examples. No prior programming experience is necessary, but familiarity with doing common tasks using Microsoft Windows is expected. The 2010 Edition requires Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, ability to view and print documents saved in Microsoft Word format, and Visual Basic 2010 Express. The course can also be completed using Visual Basic 2010 Professional Edition.
