Professional Visual Basic .NET skills are in heavy demand since it's often the easiest and fastest way to connect the many components that are required in an enterprise-level application Includes thirty one-hour lessons that recreate a typical week-long introductory seminar Covers the critical information that every VB .NET developer should know The author has written more than thirty courses in application development, messaging, and network development and is currently training for AutoDesk Companion Web site features an online presentation by the author that follows along with each chapter and includes an audio-only option for readers with dial-up Internet connection

Ever since Visual Basic was merged into .NET, it's become the core language for creating business applications with Windows. The latest version, VB 2008, is even more useful -- and provides even more incentive for migrating from VB 6. All it lacks is a good book on how to harness its power. Programming Visual Basic 2008 fills the void. Written in a lively and engaging style by a developer who's grown up with Visual Basic, including both VB 6 and VB .NET, this hands-on guide addresses the core topics of the new VB, from basic to complex, with plenty of code examples. Programming Visual Basic 2008 also examines .NET programming from the application level with a chapter-by-chapter plan for developing, documenting, and deploying a full data-driven application. You learn, step-by-step, how to build and deploy a library management system, complete with patron, inventory, and barcode support. The book's broad range of topics include: VB language and its syntax An overview of the .NET Framework Object-oriented development in VB and .NET Generic objects, collections, and nullable types Design and management of software projects Integrating desktop features with Windows Forms Database design with SQL Server 2008 Database interface design with ADO.NET The new LINQ feature, and how to use it within VB and .NET Embedding XML within application source code Encryption and authentication in .NET Interacting with data stored in files and directories Web development using ASP.NET Deploying an application to a user's workstation And much more Programming Visual Basic 2008 is ideal for VB 6 programmers who are ready to move to .NET, as well as VB.NET programmers who wish to improve their project-focused software development skills. Programming novices and developers coming from other languages will find the book valuable because of its language instruction and project design knowledge. Once you finish the book, you will have a firm grasp of VB 2008's core concepts and language elements, and understand how to build VB projects as they were intended -- as complete, cohesive solutions.

Using real-world examples and a detailed case study,Introduction to Visual Basic Using .NEThelps you master VB.NET from the ground up, or rapidly migrate from VB6. The authors introduce the .NET Framework and Visual Studio.NET from the VB developer's perspective, examine VB.NET's basic coding constructs, and thoroughly explore both object-oriented programming and Windows Forms development. Coverage also includes: ADO.NET, threads, collections, delegates, attributes, and much more.

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.

Designed for an introductory programming course, this market-leading title has been enhanced to include two new tutorials on the next generation of Visual Basic - Visual Basic.NET. Programming with Visual Basic 6.0 Enhanced distinguishes itself from other Windows books because of its unique two-pronged approach. First, this book teaches programming concepts using a task-driven, rather than a command-driven, approach. By working through the tutorials, which are each motivated by a realistic case, individuals learn how to use programming applications that they are likely to encounter in the workplace. Second, the content, organization, and pedagogy of this book exploits the Windows environment. This edition includes creating reports using the print statement, as well as two full chapters on database access using ADO data control, SQL, and the DBGrid control.

This book deals with Arduino + Visual basic 6.0 Serial communication and is a most suitable book for the beginner people in the field of Arduino and Pc based controlling system .contains are also chosen according to the need of beginner learner . This book will help you to learn about Arduino and Visual basic 6.0 basic interfaces. as name suggest this is a practical book so nothing is going to describe in detail just follow the steps and you will able to control all motors, Leds, Arduino base wireless Robot with your own visual basic 6.0 software. A large number of program and do it yourself activity are included to help reader to get a clear understanding of practical controlling. Every example is described with suitable breadboard circuit which made with Fritzing.org http: //fritzing.org/home/ software. Which gives a clear idea about circuit implementation with Arduino . And again visual basic 6.0 is a ideal for beginner to make a some cool projects with Arduino . I do all the program with Visual Basic 6.0 which works fine with windows 7, windows 8 (according to Microsoft Product Detail). This book will help you 1. Control Leds with Arduino and Visual Basic 6.0. 2. Control Dc Motor With Arduino and Visual Basic 6.0. 3. Control Stepper Motor with Arduino and Visual Basic 6.0. 4. Control Servo Motor with Arduino and Visual Basic 6.0. 5. Make voice guidance program in Visual Basic 6.0 6. Interfacing RF Module with Arduino and Visual Basic 6.0. 7. Make simple Pc operated Wireless Arduino Robot.
