Visual Basic in easy steps

Mike McGrath

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Visual Basic in Easy Steps begins by describing the installation process and then introducing form controls, application properties, the programming language, and problem-solving techniques. It illustrates, by example, how to build and deploy a complete Windows application. Also covered is scripting with Visual Basic to create macros for Microsoft Office and exciting dynamic Web pages for Internet Explorer. The book demonstrates how to incorporate external data into applications from text files, Excel spreadsheets, XML documents, live RSS web feeds, and SQL databases. Best of all, no previous programming knowledge is required.
