Course Description
Visual Basic 2005 is an object-oriented, general purpose programming language. Programmers using the Visual Basic .NET language have the ability to write applications ranging from simple user-friendly front-end interfaces to complex database applications. VB.NET applications can be deployed as stand-alone or web-based applications. This course by VTC author, Arthur Lee, assumes no prior programming background and uses a building block approach beginning with simple programming features and examples while gradually introducing more complex features. Numerous coding examples are provided to enhance the learning experience. To begin learning, simply click the movie links.
