Summary

Introduction to Programming, Visual Basic, Programming with Visual Basic/Business, Computer Science/4-year and 2-year colleges and universities, Continuing Education. Eliason and Malarkey explore the character and features of the event-driven Visual Basic programming language. The organization of the text has a three-fold focus (Environment, Programming, Applications) that has proven to be extremely successful in the classroom.

Features


Stresses application design in Visual Basic first rather than programming.
Provides a background in programming and program design.
Demonstrates how Visual Basic Applications are built and integrated with other types of software including database, spreadsheet, and word processing software.
