Visual Basic.NET Complete - Tapa blanda

Visual Basic .NET is the most significant upgrade to VB since its first release 10 years ago. It is one of the core pieces of Microsoft's upgrade to Visual Studio, which also includes the new language C# and Visual C++. The new VStudio release is significant because for the first time, Microsoft will have a common user interface for all of its languages. VB has many new features, making it an equal citizen with other popular languages, such as C++ and Java. Currently there are more than 4 million VB programmers and we expect a large number to upgrade to the new version over the next few years.

Visual Basic .NET Complete is a one-of-a-kind book—valuable both for its broad content and its low price. Because the new version of Visual Basic is radically different from VB6, this book delivers the essential skills you need to start programming with VB.NET--including the basics of the new language and developing Windows applications with the new Visual Studio .NET tools.

With Visual Basic .NET Complete, you’ll learn everything you need to know for Web application development with ASP.NET and XML—from working with Web Forms to building Web Services. You’ll also learn how to build database applications with ADO.NET, the latest version of Microsoft’s data access technology. Finally, you’ll get the experience of creating real-world applications, including building an online store using .NET technologies.

Visual Basic .NET Complete introduces you to the work of some of Sybex’s finest authors, so you’ll know where to go to learn even more about Visual Basic .NET.
