Beginning Object-Oriented Programming with VB 2005 : From Novice to Professional

Senior consultant Clark seeks to provide the information needed to understand the fundamentals of programming with Visual Basic and, most importantly, to give novices the tools they need to master the higher-level concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) methodology and design. At first he covers concepts that apply to all programming languages, identifying class structures and modeling interaction, working through a case study, then he shows how OOP is implemented in Visual Basic, including creating classes and hierarchies, implementing object collaboration, working with collections and developing applications with visual Basic. Finally, he describes developing applications with Visual Basic for business, windows and the web. Clark's examples are very useful and the logic of his step-by-step approach is practical and considerate of both ends of the experience spectrum.
