Overview
Appropriate for all basic-to-intermediate level courses in Visual Basic 2012 programming. Visual Basic 2012 How to Program, Sixth Edition is also appropriate for anyone interested in learning programming with Visual Basic 2012.
Created by world-renowned programming instructors Paul and Harvey Deitel, Visual Basic 2012 How to Program, Sixth Edition introduces all facets of the Visual Basic 2012 language through a hands-on approach with hundreds of working programs. This book has been thoroughly updated to reflect the major innovations Microsoft has incorporated in Visual Basic 2012; all discussions and sample code have been carefully audited against the newest Visual Basic language specification. The Sixth Edition is updated to Visual Studio 2012 and includes new chapters on Windows 8 UI app development, Windows 8 graphics/multimedia, Windows Phone 8 app development and Windows Azure.
Readers begin by getting comfortable with
the free Visual Basic Express 2012 IDE and basic VB syntax. Next,
they build their skills one step at a time, mastering control
structures, classes, objects, methods, variables, arrays, and the
core techniques of object-oriented programming. With this strong
foundation in place, the Deitels introduce more sophisticated
techniques, including inheritance, polymorphism, exception
handling, strings, GUI's, data structures, generics, and
collections. Throughout, the authors show developers how to make
the most of Microsoft’s Visual Studio tools. A series of
appendices provide essential programming reference material on
various topics.
