Introduction
Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 is an important upgrade and enhancement of the popular Visual Basic programming language and compiler, a technology that enjoys an installed base of millions of programmers worldwide. Visual Basic 2010 is not a stand-alone product but a key component of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010—a comprehensive development system that allows you to create powerful applications for Windows, the Web, handheld devices, and a host of other environments. Whether you purchase one of the commercial editions of Visual Studio 2010 (described later in this Introduction) or you download Visual Basic 2010 Express for a free test-drive of the software, you are in for an exciting experience. The latest features of Visual Basic will increase your productivity and programming prowess, especially if you enjoy using and integrating information from databases, entertainment media, Web pages, and Web sites. In addition, an important benefit of learning Visual Basic and the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is that you can use many of the same tools to write programs for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, Microsoft Visual C# 2010, Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010, and other popular products.
Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Step by Step is a comprehensive introduction to Visual Basic programming using the Visual Basic 2010 software. I’ve designed this practical, hands-on tutorial with a variety of skill levels in mind and by following the premise that programmers learn by doing. In my opinion, the best way to master a complex technology like Visual Basic is to learn essential programming techniques through carefully prepared tutorials that can be completed on your own schedule and at your own pace. And although I have significant experience with college teaching and corporate project management, this book is not a dry textbook or an “A to Z” programmer’s reference. Instead, it is a practical hands-on programming tutorial that puts you in charge of your learning, developmental milestones, and achievements. By using this book, programmers who are new to this topic will learn Visual Basic software development fundamentals in the context of useful, real-world applications; and experienced Visual Basic programmers can quickly master the essential tools and techniques offered in the Visual Basic 2010 upgrade.
Complementing this comprehensive approach is the book’s structure—4 topically organized parts, 20 chapters, and 56 step-by-step exercises and sample programs. By using this book, you’ll quickly learn how to create professional-quality Visual Basic 2010 applications for the Windows operating system and a variety of Web browsers. You’ll also have fun!
