Ever since Visual Basic was merged into .NET, it's become the core language for creating business applications with Windows. The latest version, VB 2008, is even more useful -- and provides even more incentive for migrating from VB 6. All it lacks is a good book on how to harness its power. Programming Visual Basic 2008 fills the void. Written in a lively and engaging style by a developer who's grown up with Visual Basic, including both VB 6 and VB .NET, this hands-on guide addresses the core topics of the new VB, from basic to complex, with plenty of code examples. Programming Visual Basic 2008 also examines .NET programming from the application level with a chapter-by-chapter plan for developing, documenting, and deploying a full data-driven application. You learn, step-by-step, how to build and deploy a library management system, complete with patron, inventory, and barcode support. The book's broad range of topics include: VB language and its syntax An overview of the .NET Framework Object-oriented development in VB and .NET Generic objects, collections, and nullable types Design and management of software projects Integrating desktop features with Windows Forms Database design with SQL Server 2008 Database interface design with ADO.NET The new LINQ feature, and how to use it within VB and .NET Embedding XML within application source code Encryption and authentication in .NET Interacting with data stored in files and directories Web development using ASP.NET Deploying an application to a user's workstation And much more Programming Visual Basic 2008 is ideal for VB 6 programmers who are ready to move to .NET, as well as VB.NET programmers who wish to improve their project-focused software development skills. Programming novices and developers coming from other languages will find the book valuable because of its language instruction and project design knowledge. Once you finish the book, you will have a firm grasp of VB 2008's core concepts and language elements, and understand how to build VB projects as they were intended -- as complete, cohesive solutions.

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.That's 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 Microsoft's most popular .NET language.Learning Visual Basic .NET is 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 .NET introduces fundamentals like Visual Studio .NET, a tool set for building Windows and Web applications. You'll 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 you've finished Learning Visual Basic .NET, you'll 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.
VISUAL BASIC .NET AND DATABASE: PRACTICAL TUTORIALS
This book aims to develop a MySQL-driven desktop application that readers can develop for their own purposes to implement library project using Visual Basic .NET. In Tutorial 1, you will build a Visual Basic interface for the database. This interface will used as the main terminal in accessing other forms. This tutorial will also discuss how to create login form and login table. You will create login form. Place on the form one picture box, two labels, one combo box, one text box, and two buttons. In Tutorial 2, you will build a school inventory project where you can store information about valuables in school. The table will have nine fields: Item (description of the item), Quantity, Location (where the item was placed), Shop (where the item was purchased), DatePurchased (when the item was purchased), Cost (how much the item cost), SerialNumber (serial number of the item), PhotoFile (path of the photo file of the item), and Fragile (indicates whether a particular item is fragile or not). In Tutorial 3, you will perform the steps necessary to add 5 new tables using phpMyAdmin into Academy database. You will build each table and add the associated fields as needed. Every table in the database will need input form. In this tutorial, you will build such a form for Author table. Although this table is quite simple (only four fields: AuthorID, Name, BirthDate, and PhotoFile), it provides a basis for illustrating the many steps in interface design. SQL statement is required by the Command object to read fields (sorted by Name). Then, you will build an interface so that the user can maintain the Publisher table in the database (Academy). The Publisher table interface is more or less the same as Author table interface. This Publisher table interface only requires more input fields. So you will use the interface for the Author table and modify it for the Publisher table. In Tutorial 4, you will perform the steps necessary to design and implement title form, library member form, and book borrowal form. You start by designing and testing the basic entry form for book titles. The Title table has nine fields: BookTitle, PublishYear, ISBN, PublisherID, AuthorID, Description, Note, Subject, and Comment. Then, you will build such a form for Member table. This table has twelve fields: MemberID, FirstName, LastName, BirthDate, Status, Ethnicity, Nationality, Mobile, Phone, Religion, Gender, and PhotoFile). You need thirteen label controls, one picture box, six text boxes, four comboxes, one check box, one date time picker, one openfiledialog, and one printpreviewdialog. You also need four buttons for navigation, six buttons for controlling editing features, one button for searching member’s name, and one button to upload member’s photo. Finally, you will build such a form for Borrow table. This table has seven fields: BorrowID, MemberID, BorrowCode, ISBN, BorrowDate, ReturnDate, and Penalty. In this form, you need fourteen label controls, seven text boxes, two comboxes, two date time pickers, and one printpreviewdialog. You also need four buttons for navigation, seven buttons for other utilities, one button to generate borrowal code, and one button to return book.
