Practical Approach To Programming In Visual Basic

This book "Practical Approach to Programming in Visual Basic" has been carefully revised to satisfy the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards required to meet the needs of an undergraduate course in Computers and Computing. It addresses in sufficient details the underlying principles and concepts in the development and application of computer programs. It is useful to novices seeking to learn Visual Basic (VB) as well as those proficient in other languages that plan to cross-train from other programming languages. The method of presentation is adequate; prepare students from the change in purely essay type questions to a combination of essay and multiple choice questions. This provides students the opportunity for additional practice that is essential for ensured success. The book is divided into seven chapters. It begins with the essential concepts of computer programming aimed at equipping the reader with the required knowledge and techniques for effective and practical computer programming without necessarily having a pre-knowledge on computer programming. Chapter two introduces the basic concepts of VB 6. It provides practical steps on how a beginner can create his first VB application, modify and add control properties, and how such applications can be improved. Chapter three through six detailed on Visual Basic language covering topics such as Visual Basic data and variable types (single and multi-dimensional arrays, along with their declaration statement), control properties (string handling, file input/output, date and time manipulation), operators and flow control, and functions. Finally it ends with data storage, database creation and access using customised VB programs. Throughout this book, liberal use is made of code excerpts providing practical examples of theory in action, which practically guides both seasoned and inexperienced programmers. It is intended that having read this book, the reader will confidently be able to develop Windows applications using Visual Basic
