This study covers the role of Visual Basic and its potential within the large corporate environment. Aimed at programmers, IS managers and IT managers, the text applies topics and concepts to the medium to large business.

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.

Visual Basic.NET by Example helps the reader learn Visual Studio.NET as well as how the language interacts with the .NET framework and other Visual Studio programming languages. Using this book, the reader will learn to build stand alone applications or applications and services which run within Microsoft's .NET Framework. This book explains each topic using real code examples to illustrate the VB.NET language and teaches in an easy-to-use tutorial manner.

An accessible and step-by-step approach to using VB.NET and XML enterprise application development XML is a tool for interacting with, describing, and transporting data between machines across networks and across the Internet-perfectly suited for Microsoft's .NET plan to fully integrate the Internet into distributed computing. By using real-world and fully-functional examples, this book quickly brings Visual Basic programmers and developers up to speed on XML for enterprise application development. The authors include an overview of XML and how it works with VB.NET, then explain how to use it to manipulate data in distributed environments. Companion Web site at www.vb-helper.com features the complete working code for all the examples built in the book. Microsoft Technologies .NET Platform: The next big overhaul to Microsoft's technologies that will bring enterprise distributed computing to the next level by fully integrating the Internet into the development platform. This will allow interaction between any machine, on any platform, and on any device. Visual Basic.NET: The update to this popular visual programming language will offer greater Web functionality, more sophisticated object-oriented language features, links to Microsoft's new common runtime, and a new interface. ASP.NET: A programming framework (formerly known as Active Server Pages) for building powerful Web-based enterprise applications; can be programmed using VB.NET or C#. C#: Microsoft's new truly object-oriented programming language that builds on the strengths of C++ and the ease of Visual Basic; promises to give Sun's Java a run for its money.

Reselman, a senior software engineer at Gateway 2000, has written an easy-to-use reference format that allows novice users to find information quickly. Web site contains the source code and completed applications from the book.

Ready-to-use building blocks for integrated circuit design. Why start coding from scratch when you can work from this library of pre-tested routines, created by an HDL expert? There are plenty of introductory texts to describe the basics of Verilog, but "Verilog Designer's Library" is the only book that offers real, reusable routines that you can put to work right away. "Verilog Designer's Library" organizes Verilog routines according to functionality, making it easy to locate the material you need. Each function is described by a behavioral model to use for simulation, followed by the RTL code you'll use to synthesize the gate-level implementation. Extensive test code is included for each function, to assist you with your own verification efforts. Coverage includes: Essential Verilog coding techniques Basic building blocks of successful routines State machines and memories Practical debugging guidelines Although "Verilog Designer's Library" assumes a basic familiarity with Verilog structure and syntax, it does not require a background in programming. Beginners can work through the book in sequence to develop their skills, while experienced Verilog users can go directly to the routines they need. Hardware designers, systems analysts, VARs, OEMs, software developers, and system integrators will find it an ideal sourcebook on all aspects of Verilog development.

This inexpensive--yet complete--Visual Basic resource includes something for everyone: tutorials, advanced tips and tricks, and a complete reference section to VB functions and commands. Chapters range from the basics of the development environment to interactive Web programming with ASP.NET and database programming with ADO.NET.
