Introduction To Object Oriented Programming With Visual Basicnet

Dan Clark shows beginning VB.NET programmers how one goes about architecting an object oriented programming solution aimed at solving a business problem.

Michael McMillan provides a complete presentation of the object-oriented features of the Visual Basic .NET language for advanced Visual Basic programmers. Beginning with an introduction to abstract data types and their initial implementation using structures, he explains standard OOP topics including class design, inheritance, access modifiers and scoping issues, abstract classes, design and implemention of interfaces and design patterns, and refactoring in VB.NET. More advanced OOP topics are included as well, such as reflection, object persistence, and serialization. To tie everything together, McMillan demonstrates sound OOP design and implementation principles through practical examples of standard Windows applications, database applications using ADO.NET, Web-based applications using ASP.NET, and Windows service applications.

A programmer's complete guide to Visual Basic .NET. Starting with a sample application and a high-level map, the book jumps right into showing how the parts of .NET fit with Visual Basic .NET. Topics include the common language runtime, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, Web Forms, Web Services, and ADO.NET.

The target audience for this book is the beginning VB .NET programmer who wants to gain a foundation in OOP along with the VB language basics. Programmers transitioning from a procedural oriented programming model to an object-oriented model will also benefit from this information.

Object-Oriented Programming in Visual Basic .NET Alistair McMonnies Approved by author 8th September 2003 Visual Basic .Net (VB .NET) has been a radical departure from previous versions of Visual Basic. The language is now fully object-oriented, and can be used either to write programs, or to create components that fit within the .NET architecture. If you are learning to program, VB .NET will give you a previously unheard-of mix of power, flexibility and ease of use. The book approaches the language from an object-oriented (OO) perspective, demonstrating that Visual Basic can now be used to develop real industrial-strength OO systems and software components. It starts by covering OO analysis, design and modelling using UML, and then moves on to a full discussion of OO concepts. Advanced topics such as data structures, database applications and software design patterns are also covered. Throughout, students are shown how to develop short programs in order to illustrate the fundamentals of algorithm design and structured programming. Features Object-oriented programming is placed fully in the context of the software development life cycle Includes a chapter on database development, covering database design principles, data access techniques and presenting data to the user-interface The book is accompanied by a website at www.booksites.net/mcmonnies containing code for all programs in the book, additional program examples and information on using VB to program database applications. InstructorAs materials include slides, tutorial sheets, lab sheets and assessment materials, all with solutions. Alistair McMonnies is currently a lecturer in the Computing and Information Systems department at the University of Paisley. He teaches software development using Visual Basic and C++ and is a Microsoft Certified Professional.

Most Visual Basic .NET books are written for experienced object-oriented programmers, but many programmers jumping on the .NET bandwagon are coming from non-object-oriented languages, such as Visual Basic 6.0 or from script programming, such as JavaScript. These programmers, and those who are adopting VB.NET as their first programming language, have been out of luck when it comes to finding a high-quality introduction to the language that helps them get started.That's why Jesse Liberty, author of the best-selling books Programming C# and Programming ASP.NET, has written an entry-level guide to Visual Basic .NET. Written in a warm and friendly manner, this book assumes no prior programming experience, and provides an easy introduction to Microsoft's most popular .NET language.Learning Visual Basic .NET is a complete introduction to VB.NET and object-oriented programming. This book will help you build a solid foundation in .NET, and show how to apply your skills by using hundreds of examples to help you become productive quickly. Learning Visual Basic .NET introduces fundamentals like Visual Studio .NET, a tool set for building Windows and Web applications. You'll learn about the syntax and structure of the Visual Basic .NET language, including operators, classes and interfaces, structs, arrays, and strings. Liberty then demonstrates how to develop various kinds of applications--including those that work with databases--and web services.By the time you've finished Learning Visual Basic .NET, you'll be ready to move on to a more advanced programming guide that will help you create large-scale web and Windows applications.Whether you have a little object-oriented programming experience or you are new to programming altogether, Visual Basic .NET will set you firmly on your way to mastering the essentials of the VB.NET language.

To Tie Everything Together, Mcmillan Demonstrates Sound Oop Design And Implementation Principles Through Practical Examples Of Standard Windows Applications, Database Applications Using Ado.Net, Web-Based Applications Using Asp.Net, And Windows Service Applications.

Introduction to Programming with Visual Basic .NET introduces the major concepts and applications of this important language within the context of sound programming principles, in a manner that is accessible to students and beginning programmers. Coverage includes the new visual objects required in creating a Windows-based graphical user interface, event-based programming, and the integration of traditional procedural programming techniques with VB .NET's object-oriented framework. The text places a strong emphasis on real-world business applications, case studies, and rapid application development to help engage students with discussion of practical programming issues. A full range of supplements for students and instructors accompany the text.

Practical Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET The most up-to-date Visual Basic.NET programming textbook—covering both fundamentals and advanced-level programming techniques—complete with examples and solutions Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented computer programming language that can be viewed as an evolution of the classic Visual Basic (VB), which is implemented on the .NET Framework. Microsoft currently supplies two major implementations of Visual Basic: Microsoft Visual Studio (which is commercial software) and Microsoft Visual Studio Express (which is free of charge). Forgoing the large amounts of programming codes found in most database programming books, Practical Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET shows students and professionals both how to develop professional and practical database programs in a Visual Basic.NET environment by using Visual Studio.NET Data Tools and Wizards related to ADO.NET 4.0, and how to apply codes that are auto-generated by solely using Wizards. The fully updated Second Edition: Covers both fundamentals and advanced database programming techniques Introduces three popular database systems with practical examples including MS Access, SQL Server 2008, and Oracle Features more than fifty sample projects with detailed illustrations and explanations to help students understand key techniques and programming technologies Includes downloadable programming codes and exercise questions This book provides undergraduate and graduate students as well as database programmers and software engineers with the necessary tools to handle the database programming issues in the Visual Studio.NET environment.

Accompanying CD-ROM contains all the programs from the examples and case studies in the textbook, most of the txt files needed for the exercises, all databases needed for the exercises, and several bmp (picture) files.
