Description
An Introduction to Programming Using Visual Basic 2010, Eighth Edition, - consistently praised by both students and instructors - is designed for students with no prior computer programming experience. Now updated for Visual Basic 2010, Schneider focuses on teaching problem-solving skills and sustainable programming skills. A broad range of real-world examples, section-ending exercises, case studies, and programming projects gives students more hands-on experience than any other Visual Basic book on the market.
Reviews / Votes
"I am proponent of lots of examples and exercises in a book. The author does a great job of offering these key tools to facilitate the learning of topics." - Ronald Conway, Bowling Green State University"The topics flow nicely and I am able to bring the students along to build increasingly sophisticated programs...I love the plethora of examples and suggested projects, and I like the idea that students who want to explore further can find the material they need in the text [Schneider]." - Cynthia Brown, Portland State University"This textbook [Schneider] is an excellent resource for the novice programmer. Using Visual Basic as its language, it clearly presents programming concepts applicable to all languages. This textbook covers programming concepts in a clear, yet concise fashion and offers a multitude of programming exercises that vary from short-directed samples to large real-world level applications." - Carol Roberts, The University of Maine"This book [Schneider] gives very detailed and clear information and instruction. The points that I like are the quality of examples (including business, games, etc.) and the quantity of examples." - Hojun Jaycarl, Iowa State University"Ease of reading and simplicity of approach are two important features in this textbook [Schneider]. Schneider seems more interested in presenting concepts versus telling the reader everything they already know. For curricula that do not stress programming, but want to expose students to something easier than other high-level tools, this book is excellent. The richness of the problem set is another feature - these problems are not "busy work" - they genuinely add to the understanding." - Joel Weinstein, Northeastern University"If my goal was for the students to leave the course as great VB programmers, Schneider would be my choice." - G.W. Willis, Baylor UniversityMore details
