Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Starter Kit (+source code)

This book has been designed from a practical, task-oriented approach so that the information taught is backed up with solid examples that confirm and extend the text. If you’re someone who prefers to get straight into your learning experience, rather than try to wade through thousands of pages of text, this is exactly the book you need. From the first chapter, you will be writing programs and learning how to use Visual Basic to solve common programming tasks.

If you’ve used the Basic language in its previous forms, you’ll appreciate the elegance and simplicity of this latest iteration, which is coupled with the most powerful library of functions and classes Visual Basic has ever been able to access. In addition, if you’re new to the language or new to programming, this book will introduce you to the important concepts and information you’ll need to get up to speed — by the end of this book, you’ll find that Visual Basic Express is so easy to learn that you’ll wonder why you haven’t been programming already.

This book is completely, unabashedly focused on the just released Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. From installation to deployment, everything that you can do in Visual Basic Express is discussed here so you can get up to speed as quickly as possible.

To use this book you’ll need Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition installed, as well as SQL Server Express for some of the later topics. Apart from that, everything else you will create yourself by following the examples and exercises found in each chapter. If you’re not sure of the best way to tackle an exercise at the end of a chapter, Appendix C has suggested answers for each one so you can be confident that you’re learning what you need to know.
