Database Access with Visual Basic .NET continues to use techniques developed by Jeffrey McManus that provide solutions to problems faced by developers every day. Since data access is the most used feature in corporate development, it is important for developers to understand the most effective and efficient way to access data using .NET technologies. This book provides clear explanations of how to use ADO.NET to access data stored in relational databases, as well as how XML integrates with ADO.NET. The authors use their years of experience to relate key topics to real-world applications through use of Business Cases that include code listings in Visual Basic .NET.
The purpose of this book is to show you how to develop database applications, using Visual Basic.NET and ADO.NET. Even though we expect that most readers will be working with SQL Server, we do not assume that they are experienced with it. You may be new to database applications or only have experience with other databases such as Microsoft Access or Oracle. We have therefore included a hefty overview of Microsoft SQL Server in Chapter 3. If you are experienced with SQL Server, you may want to skip this chapter. However, it covers a wide variety of topics, and you may still find a "nugget" or two that would make reading the chapter worthwhile.
We assume that you are already familiar with Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET). Although we give step-by-step coding instructions and code examples, we do not cover VB.NET syntax in this book. We assume that you are reasonably comfortable with VB.NET and Visual Studio.NET (VS.NET) and do not waste your time reviewing fundamental concepts. For example, we do not normally step through basic tasks, such as opening and saving project files, except maybe the first time you encounter them. We do, however, often show how to do the same thing in several different ways€�we hope that this will extend your knowledge of VB.NET, without rehashing the basics. You may also notice variant coding styles, and even screen shots on different versions of Windows€�all illustrating the flexibility of VB.NET.

If you€™re new to Visual Basic .NET, this book gets you started right. By chapter 3, you€™ll be developing simple but complete applications. By chapter 5, you€™ll be doing some serious programming. And by chapter 7, you€™ll be able to code, test, and debug object-oriented programs with Visual Basic .NET.
Of course, there€™s a lot more to Visual Basic .NET than one beginning book can cover. But this book gets you started with all of the important features and capabilities of Visual Basic .NET and prepares you for learning more about them on your own. That€™s why we say that no other book or course will get you started faster or better than this book.
This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to use Visual Basic .NET for developing business applications. It works if you have no programming experience at all. It works if you have programming experience with another language like COBOL or Java. It works if you already know Visual Basic 6. And it works if you€™ve already read three or four other Visual Basic .NET books and still don€™t know how to develop a real-world business application.
If you€™re completely new to programming, the prerequisites are minimal. First, you need to be familiar with the Windows interface. This means that you have used Windows applications like Word or Excel so you€™re comfortable with tasks like opening, saving, printing, and closing files. Second, you should know how to use the Windows Explorer to copy folders and files from one location to another.

This book is definitive Visual Basic 2005 programming and development resource.
Get full details on the powerful features of Visual Basic 2005 in this comprehensive one-stop guide that's filled with information not included in the online documentation. Programming expert Ron Petrusha begins by laying out what's new in Visual Basic 2005, such as its object-oriented programming capabilities. You'll find in-depth coverage of current language elements, coding techniques, and troubleshooting procedures.
Syntax explanations, code samples, and real-world examples illustrate each point along the way. Valuable appendices include information on constants and enumerations, compiling applications from the command line, and data conversion. This book is a particularly valuable desktop companion when coding and troubleshooting misbehaving code.
Master this massive programming language upgrade that raises Visual Basic functionality to the level of the .NET platform. Coverage includes all core topics€�plus security, debugging, and helpful information on migrating existing Visual Basic projects to Visual Basic.NET.
Most students entering an electronics technician program have an understanding of mathematics. Basic Electronics Math provides is a practical application of these basics to electronic theory and circuits.
The first half of Basic Electronics Math provides a refresher of mathematical concepts. These chapters can be taught separately from or in combination with the rest of the book, as needed by the students. The second half of Basic Electronics Math covers applications to electronics.
Basic concepts of electronics math.
Numerous problems and examples.
Uses real-world applications.
Review
Although written primarily for vocational technical students, this text offers a good refresher course for hobbyists, progressing from a review of basic mathematical concepts to the practical application of these concepts to electronic circuits. - Library Journal 2004 Read more...
