| dc.description.abstract | This book is an ideal introduction to programming in Visual Basic for students with no prior programming experience and is excellent for taught courses or as an aid to self-study. · A spiral approach to teaching object-oriented programming introduces new ideas carefully one-at-a-time, rather than all at once. Simple ideas are introduced early, and then incorporated in a more sophisticated context later on. · The book contains coverage of graphics from the start to motivate students, plus early coverage of object-oriented concepts in line with current teaching practice. · Topics are explained using a wide variety of applications as examples, such as information systems, games and scientific calculations. · UML diagrams are used throughout the text. · End-of-chapter pedagogy includes self-test questions, exercises, ‘programming principles’ and ‘programming pitfalls. · The companion website contains the code of all the programs in the book | en_US |
