The Visual Basic.NET Coach is written for programmers just starting out with the Visual Basic.NET environment. It teaches sound VB.NET fundamentals by introducing students to the development environment, and explains how to create an application basic programming constructs (such as variables, operators, conditional statements, loops and functions), as well as with images and text. These skills are used to develop programs that solve relatively simple but useful problems. Once students have gained a firm understanding of VB.Net, instructors have the flexibility of choosing other topics to cover such as databases, drag and drop interfaces, graphic routines, multiform applications, menus and basic object-oriented programming.
The book takes a unique approach to teaching VB.NET, and helps students master important problem-solving skills. Students work through many non-technical drills and examples as a practical way to get immediate feedback on their understanding of the concepts just learned. Two examples are integrated as case studies at the end of each chapter to illustrate the process of how to develop complete applications from the ground-up. .
