Course author Rod Stephens has been working with Visual Basic since version three, released in 1993. After completing an undergraduate degree in mathematics, Stephens began learning programming, and has been combining his expertise in algorithms with software development ever since. He has developed high-complexity programs for use in fields such as cartography, repair dispatch, billing, fuel tax processing, and even coaching tools for professional football. He has been a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional for the last ten years, and authored 28 books on programming, algorithms, graphics, and graphic design.
Stephens begins with an overview of VB .NET, including an installation guide, a lesson on how to create and run a new project, and more.
The course then guides users through the construction of the essential features of an app, as Stephens teaches how to build a user interface, how to construct common interactive features such as labels and textboxes, buttons, and menus, work with preferences and layout, and event handling.
The course moves into the advanced capabilities and the nuts and bolts features of VB .NET with chapters on working with variables, debugging, working with data types, using various statements, and working with VB .NET classes.
"Visual Basic is a powerful object-oriented language that helps you build Windows desktop programs, Windows phone apps, and web site apps," Stephens explains.
"This course is designed to provide a basic foundation for users to begin working in VB .NET. In order to get the most out of the course, users must take the lessons and practice, modify the lessons and see what you can do."
