Visual Basic is the most popular programming language in existence. At the present time, it is estimated that there are over three million programmers using Visual Basic. It is also the most popular introductory programming language at most colleges and universities. This is going to become even more widespread with Visual Basic .NET. From the outset, this book is designed to teach an individual with no prior programming experience the art of object-oriented programming. The reader is carefully led through a thoughtful sequence of chapters that builds a solid foundation of programming knowledge and skills. Whether the reader is seeking general programming knowledge or specific skills in Web or database programming, this book provides the knowledge to gain those expertise.
Obviously, I think you should read this book. Whether you are a seasoned programmer or just beginning to explore computer programming, this book will be helpful to you. Embodied in this text are decades of teaching experience that have helped me to understand the learning process. I understand some of the major stumbling blocks students face while learning computer programming and how to get around them.
If you're just getting started, this book can help you become a good computer programmer. If you're an experienced programmer, this book can help you become a better programmer. Clearly, you'll be the final judge as to whether the book is successful in these endeavors.
The primary goal of the course is to teach the student to think like a programmer. As we journey through those two semesters, I strive to impart to the students the mental discipline, critical thinking, and creative processes that are all components in computer programming. The fact that we use Visual Basic as the vehicle for the learning processes is almost incidental. After all, there have been some pretty sharp programmers emerge during the past five decades who did not use Visual Basic as their first programming language.
