Introduction to Computer Programming with Visual Basic 6: A Problem-Solving Approach is written for students with little or no programming experience. This comprehensive text equips students with the skills necessary to develop computer applications in any language by helping them develop a framework for creating programs. Each chapter illustrates the application of this framework from Step 1 (Analysis) to Step 6 (Completing the Documentation) through a programming case study. The authors emphasize the program development life cycle and fundamental programming concepts such as data types, loops, decisions, and arrays. FEATURES To further highlight the authors' emphasis on programming concepts instead of GUI elements, a limited number of program controls are used in the examples. To provide greater flexibility to instructors, more GUI elements are included in Appendix A, "Visual Basic User Interface Objects." The preface and the Instructor's Resource Manual provide teaching tips on how to incorporate the controls presented in Appendix A in lab exercises or projects Object-Event Diagrams are introduced in Chapter 1 to help students understand the importance of events Two chapters on database programming (Chapter 10 and 11) offer students the skills needed to develop more robust database applications Chapter 12 is devoted to fundamental object-oriented programming concepts and techniques for developing object-oriented programs in Visual Basic to reinforce this new standard for developing software The authors offer outstanding pedagogical aids such as common examples that build on previous concepts, a multitude of end-of-chapter short answer and programming exercises, and plenty of programming projects

* Provides a good foundation for Microsoft Access and Visual Basic database programming * Offers thorough coverage of object-oriented programming, including how to create data handling classes and ActiveX controls for code reusability * Covers DAO, ADO, ASP, and SQL, and demonstrates how to take data mining to the next level

This book presents concepts of programming methodology and sound software development alongside the fundamentals of the Visual Basic 6.0 language. The goal is to provide a foundation of solid programming techniques and to promote an understanding of the common control structures available in most high-level languages. The book discusses the language with gradually increasing complexity, presenting the essential features of Visual Basic before introducing advanced language features. This is an appropriate book for introductory courses in computer programming as well as a reference for advanced programmers. Features: *Provides a solid foundation in computer programming fundamentals using the Visual Basic language *Contains well thought-out pedagogy, including: -Code Callouts to explain important points and key concepts in program source code -GUI Design Tips to enhance understanding of proper GUI design -Real-world examples from the business, math, science, engineering, and operations research communities to demonstrate the relevance of the material -Case Studies to provide insight on how the concepts apply to real-world situations -Chapter Summaries to review key terms, words, and c

This guide to day-by-day Visual Basic 6 programming tips and techniques is not merely a syntax summary, but a detailed reference on creating code structures with VB6 code and data elements. Includes a tear-out, quick-reference card summarizing the VB6 language.

Assuming no prior computer programming knowledge on the part of the reader, the updated edition of David Schneider's best-selling Visual Basic 6 book now includes an introduction to Visual Basic.NET. This book uses Visual Basic 6.0 to explore the fundamentals of programming in general and to explain how to use Visual Basic as a front end to take control of major applications such as Microsoft Office. A broad range of examples, case studies, exercises, and programming projects gives readers significant hands-on experience. Introducing good programming practices that are in-step with modern programming methodology, this book uses well-chosen examples to illustrate every new concept. It includes carefully designed examples that both reinforce the text and challenge the reader to make original connections. The book also incorporates real, current, and sometimes humorous data throughout to add fun and interest to the overall presentation. The updated edition of Introduction to Programming with Visual Basic 6 includes the addition of "named constants" throughout the book, an update of all the data, and the addition of new programming projects in each chapter. An essential reference for every programming professional.
