Summary

This title is designed for a beginning programming course. It uses Visual Basic 6.0 to teach programming concepts. This market-leading book has distinguished itself from other Windows books because of its unique two-pronged approach. First, this book teaches programming concepts using a task-driven, rather than a command-driven, approach. By working through the tutorials, which are each motivated by a realistic case, individuals learn how to use programming applications that they are likely to encounter in the workplace. Second, the content, organization, and pedagogy of this book exploits the Windows environment. This edition now includes creating reports using the print statement, as well as two full chapters on database access using ADO data control, SQL, and the DBGrid control.
