Visual Basic in easy steps

Visual Basic in easy steps begins by describing the
installation process then introduces form controls,
application properties, the programming language, and
problem-solving techniques. It illustrates, by example,
how to build and deploy a complete Windows application.
It also explores scripting with Visual Basic to create
macros for Microsoft Office and exciting dynamic web
pages for Internet Explorer. Visual Basic in easy steps
demonstrates how to incorporate external data into your
applications from text files, Excel spreadsheets, XML
documents, live RSS web feeds, and SQL databases. No
previous knowledge of any programming language is assumed
so it's ideal for a newcomer to Windows programming. Each
chapter builds your knowledge of Visual Basic. By the end
of this book you will have gained a sound understanding
of Visual Basic programming and be able to create your
own interactive applications.
