Visual Basic 2012 How to Program

Appropriate for all basic-to-intermediate level courses in Visual Basic 2012 programming. Created by world-renowned programming instructors Paul and Harvey Deitel, Visual Basic 2012 How to Program, Sixth Edition introduces all facets of the Visual Basic 2012 language through a hands-on approach with hundreds of working programs. This book has been thoroughly updated to reflect the major innovations Microsoft has incorporated in Visual Basic 2012; all discussions and sample code have been carefully audited against the newest Visual Basic language specification. The Sixth Edition is updated to Visual Studio 2012 and includes new chapters on Windows 8 UI app development, Windows 8 graphics/multimedia, Windows Phone 8 app development and Windows Azure. Students begin by getting comfortable with the free Visual Basic Express 2012 IDE and basic VB syntax. Next, they build their skills one step at a time, mastering control structures, classes, objects, methods, variables, arrays, and the core techniques of object-oriented programming. With this strong foundation in place, the Deitels introduce more sophisticated techniques, including inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, strings, GUI's, data structures, generics, and collections. Throughout, the authors show developers how to make the most of Microsoft's Visual Studio tools. A series of appendices provide essential programming reference material on various topics.VISUAL BASIC 2012 HOW TO PROGRAM Table of Contents 1 Introduction to Computers, the Internet and Visual Basic 2 Dive Into(R) Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop 3 Introduction to Visual Basic Programming 4 Introduction to Problem Solving and Control Statements: Part 1 5 Problem Solving and Control Statements: Part 2 6 Methods 7 Arrays 8 Files 9 Object-Oriented Programming: Classes and Objects 10 Object-Oriented Programming: Inheritance and Polymorphism 11 Introduction to LINQ 12 Databases and LINQ 13 Web App Development with ASP.NET 14 Windows Forms GUI: A Deeper Look 15 Graphics and Multimedia A Operator Precedence Chart B Primitive Types C Number Systems D ASCII Character Set E Unicode(R) Index ONLINE CONTENT 16 Exception Handling: A Deeper Look 17 Strings and Characters: A Deeper Look 18 Files and Streams: A Deeper Look 19 Windows 8 UI 20 Windows 8 Graphics and Multimedia 29 Windows Phone 8 Case Study 30 Windows Azure Case Study 31 Introduction to Concurrency: Async and Await 21 GUI with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) 22 WPF Graphics and Multimedia 23 XML and LINQ to XML 24 Web App Development with ASP.NET: A Deeper Look 25 Web Services 26 Data Structures and Generic Collections 27 ATM Case Study, Part 1: Object-Oriented Design with the UML 28 ATM Case Study, Part 2: Implementing an Object-Oriented Design F Creating Console Applications
