Learning Visual Basic .NET: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Learning Visual Basic .NET" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Most Visual Basic .NET books are written for experienced object-oriented programmers, but many programmers jumping on the .NET bandwagon are coming from non-object-oriented languages, such as Visual Basic 6.0 or from script programming, such as JavaScript. These programmers, and those who are adopting VB.NET as their first programming language, have been out of luck when it comes to finding a high-quality introduction to the language that helps them get started. Thats why Jesse Liberty, author of the best-selling books Programming C#and Programming ASP.NET, has written an entry-level guide to Visual Basic .NET. Written in a warm and friendly manner, this book assumes no prior programming experience, and provides an easy introduction to Microsofts most popular .NET language. Learning Visual Basic .NETis a complete introduction to VB.NET and object-oriented programming. This book will help you build a solid foundation in .NET, and show how to apply your skills by using hundreds of examples to help you become productive quickly. Learning Visual Basic .NETintroduces fundamentals like Visual Studio .NET, a tool set for building Windows and Web applications. Youll learn about the syntax and structure of the Visual Basic .NET language, including operators, classes and interfaces, structs, arrays, and strings. Liberty then demonstrates how to develop various kinds of applications--including those that work with databases--and web services. By the time youve finished Learning Visual Basic .NET, youll be ready to move on to a more advanced programming guide that will help you create large-scale web and Windows applications. Whether you have a little object-oriented programming experience or you are new to programming altogether, Visual Basic .NET will set you firmly on your way to mastering the essentials of the VB.NET language.

Preface

In July 2000, Microsoft announced the release of its new .NETplatform, which represented a major change in the way people thinkabout programming..NET facilitates object-oriented Internetdevelopment. Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is a programming languagethat was adapted from its predecessor, Visual Basic 6, specificallyfor the purpose of writing applications for the .NET platform. Thisnew version of the Visual Basic language is well suited fordeveloping distributed web applications.

About This Book

Learning Visual Basic .NET is a primer on theVB.NET language, in the context of the .NET development environment,and also on object-oriented programming. This book focuses on thefundamentals of the VB.NET programming language, both syntactical andsemantic. After mastering these concepts, you should be ready to moveon to a more advanced programming guide that will help you createlarge-scale web and Windows applications. provides a number of suggestions for yourcontinued study of VB.NET and .NET development.

Who This Book Is For

Learning Visual Basic .NET was written forprogrammers with little or no object-oriented programming experience,as well as for novice programmers. Those coming from another languagemay have a slight advantage, but I've tried toprovide an on-ramp for beginners as well, by defining all terms,demonstrating the relationships among the various constructs, andreviewing key concepts along the way.

How the Book Is Organized

introduces you to the VB.NET languageand the .NET platform.

presents a simple application thatprints the words "Hello World" to aconsole window and gives a line-by-line analysis of the code.

explains the principles behind andgoals of this programming methodology, including the three pillars ofobject-oriented programming: encapsulation, specialization, andpolymorphism.

introduces the Integrated DevelopmentEnvironment (IDE) designed specifically for .NET; using the IDE cangreatly simplify how you write applications.

introduces the basic syntax andstructure of the VB.NET language, including the intrinsic types,variables, statements, and expressions.

describes some of the ways you canchange the order in which methods are called within a program.Statements such as If, ElseIf,and Select Case will be considered, along with theconcept of loops, which are created using such keywords asDo, DoWhile, and Loop While.

describes some of the symbols thatcause VB.NET to take an action, such as assigning a value to avariable and arithmetically operating on values (adding, subtracting,etc.).

introduces the key concepts ofprogrammer-defined types (classes) and instances of those types(objects). Classes and objects are the building blocks ofobject-oriented programming.

delves into the specific programminginstructions you'll write to define the behavior ofobjects.

introduces the debugger integrated intothe Visual Studio .NET Integrated Development Environment.

explores two of the key concepts behindobject-oriented programming and demonstrates how you might implementthem in your code.

introducesthe structure or struct, a programmer-defined type similar to aclass, but with specific and more limited functionality.

explains how you can define a set ofbehaviors (an interface) that any number of classes might implement.

introduces the array, an indexedcollection of objects, all of the same type. Arrays are one of thecollection types recognized by VB.NET.

describes some of the other VB.NETcollections, including stacks and queues.

discusses the manipulation of stringsof characters, the VB.NET String class, and regular expressionsyntax.

explains how to handle errors andabnormal conditions that may arise in relation to your programs.

discusses how to write code to respondto programming occurrences like mouse clicks, keystrokes, and otherevents. The chapter also introduces some of the basic concepts ofapplication programming.

Building serious commercial applications is beyond the scope of aprimer like Learning Visual Basic .NET . But describes where you might go to learnmore about VB.NET and .NET programming, including other books, websites, newsgroups, and so forth.
