Beginning VB 2008

  Beginning VB 2008 The first computer programming book I read was titled Programming Windows 3.0 by Charles Petzold. This was around the time when Microsoft Windows 3.0 (circa 1992) once and for all showed the industry that Microsoft was a company with a future. Writing code for Windows back then was complicated by many things: lack of documentation, 16-bit architecture, and the necessity of buying a compiler separate from the software development kit (SDK). Charles’s book tied everything together and solved the problem of how to write a program for Windows. Now the problems are quite the opposite: we have too much documentation, we have 64-bit architectures, and everything including the kitchen sink is thrown into a development environment. Now we need to figure out what we actually need. We have too many options—too many ways to solve the same problem. What I am trying to do with this book is the same thing that Charles did for me when I first started out, and that was to help me figure out what I needed to write code.

This book is about explaining the Visual Basic programming language in the context of solving problems. Visual Basic has become a sophisticated programming language that can achieve many goals, but you are left wondering what techniques to use when. This book is here to answer your questions.

C++ for Dummies 5th Edition

  C++ for Dummies 5th Edition C++ For Dummies is an introduction to the C++ language. C++ For Dummies starts from the beginning (where else?) and works its way from early concepts and through more sophisticated techniques. It doesn’t assume that you have any prior knowledge, at least, not of programming.

  C++ For Dummies can also be used as a reference: If you want to understand what’s going on with all the template stuff, just flip to Chapter 27, and you’re there. Each chapter contains necessary references to other earlier chapters in case you don’t read the chapters in sequence.

  C++ For Dummies is not operating- or system-specific. It is just as useful to Unix or Linux programmers as it is to Windows-based developers. C++ For Dummies doesn’t cover Windows or .NET programming. You have to master C++ before you can move on to Windows and .NET programming.

Java in 60 minutes a day

  Java in 60 minutes a day The goal of this book is for you to be able to study each chapter in one hour, like a student sitting through a one-hour lecture. After you finish a chapter, there are labs that solidify what you learned by having you write code. You will also find review questions and answers at the end of each chapter to help you review the key points of the chapter. Also throughout the book are Classroom Q&A sections where I answer questions that I have frequently been asked by students in the classroom.

  The book contains 19 chapters. The first eight chapters discuss the fundamentals of the Java language, and should be read in order. The order of the last 11 chapters isn’t quite as important, although you will find that many of the labs build on the ones from previous chapters. The following sections describe what you will learn in this book’s chapters.

  This book is targeted towards programmers who want to learn Java. I make very few assumptions about what you already know, but general programming knowledge is helpful. This is an introductory book, and I assume you have no prior knowledge of Java.

Professional Visual Basic 2010 and .Net 4

  

Professional Visual Basic 2010 and .Net 4 Visual Studio 2010 ships with version 4 of the .NET Framework. This book provides details about not only the latest version of Visual Basic — version 10 — but also the new .NET Framework 4. Combined, these products give Visual Basic developers the capability to build applications using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Forms, Visual Studio Tools for Office, and applications and libraries based upon the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), the Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and SharePoint.

The .NET Framework 4 is the most significant change to the core framework since .NET Framework 2.0. Fortunately, as with Visual Studio 2008, Visual Studio 2010 enables developers to continue to build and deploy applications that target both the newly released version of .NET, and previously released versions of the .NET Framework.

For those who may only now be transitioning from the VB6 development model, you’ll find that this version of Visual Basic Professional is targeted less than ever at traditional VB6 code differences. With each of the four .NET versions, the core language has continued to progress and differentiate itself from where it was 10+ years ago. In some cases, the same functionality is implemented in a different way. This was not done arbitrarily — there are good reasons for the changes. However, you must be prepared to unlearn old habits and form new ones.
