This book explains how to develop professional and practical database programs in Visual Basic 2005 by using two methods: Visual Basic.NET 2005 Design Tools and Wizards, and runtime object methods. Both methods are discussed and analyzed with practical sample projects to allow users to design and implement data-driven applications with three different databases.

Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 continues the approach of its previous editions by providing thorough, expert coverage of VB 2008, from the core of the language and user interface design to developing data-driven applications and Web applications. The material is aimed at beginners with some programming background to experienced programmers, with emphasis on intermediate and advanced development topics. The book will contain numerous example programs that readers can use as starting points for building their own applications, and each chapter ends with review exercises to help readers solidify their knowledge.

The Visual Basic PAL is designed to be paired with the Sixth Edition of Joyce Farrell's Programming Logic and Design text. Together, the two books provide the perfect opportunity to learn the fundamentals of programming while gaining exposure to an actual programming language. Readers can discover how real Visual Basic code behaves within the context of the traditional language-independent logic and design course.

Teach yourself the fundamentals of working with Visual Basic 2008 one step at a time. With STEP BY STEP, you work at your own pace through hands-on, learn-by-doing exercises. Whether you re a beginning programmer or new to this specific language, you ll understand the core capabilities and fundamental techniques for Visual Basic 2008 and rapidly build robust, elegant applications. Each chapter puts you to work, showing you how, when, and why to use the latest features of Visual Basic guiding you each step of the way as you create actual components and working applications for Windows. You ll also explore data management and Web-based development topics. PLUS get practice files with sample code and data sets on the companion CD.

Intermediate and advanced coverage of Visual Basic 2010 and .NET 4 for professional developers
If you've already covered the basics and want to dive deep into VB and .NET topics that professional programmers use most, this is your book. You'll find a quick review of introductory topics-always helpful-before the author team of experts moves you quickly into such topics as data access with ADO.NET, Language Integrated Query (LINQ), security, ASP.NET web programming with Visual Basic, Windows workflow, threading, and more.

Software tools are a great aid to process engineers, but too much dependence on such tools can often lead to inappropriate and suboptimal designs. Reliance on software is also a hindrance without a firm understanding of the principles underlying its operation, since users are still responsible for devising the design. In Process Engineering and Design Using Visual Basic, Arun K. Datta provides a unique and versatile suite of programs along with simultaneous development of the underlying concepts, principles, and mathematics. Each chapter details the theory and techniques that provide the basis for design and engineering software and then showcases the development and utility of programs developed using the material outlined in the chapter. This all-inclusive guide works systematically from basic mathematics to fluid mechanics, separators, overpressure protection, and glycol dehydration, providing basic design guidelines based on international codes. Worked examples demonstrate the utility of each program, while the author also explains problems and limitations associated with the simulations.
