When Microsoft introduced the Visual Basic .NET programming language, as part
of its move to the .NET Framework two years ago, many developers willingly made
the switch. Millions of others, however, continued to stick with Visual Basic
6. They weren't ready for such a radical change, which included an object-oriented
environment similar to Java. They liked the old Visual Basic just fine.
In an effort to win over those diehard VB6 developers, the company has included
a new version of VB.NET in its upcoming next generation release of the Visual
Studio .NET development platform. Visual Basic 2005 comes with innovative language
constructs, new compiler features, dramatically enhanced productivity and an
improved debugging experience. The language's new version is now available in
beta release, and Microsoft is encouraging developers to give it a test drive.
Visual Basic 2005: A Developer's Notebook provides the ideal test track. With
nearly 50 hands-on projects, this practical introduction to VB 2005 will bring
you up to speed on all the new features of this language by allowing you to
work with them directly. The book summarizes the changes that VB 2005 brings,
and tells you how to acquire, install and configure the beta version of VB 2005
SDK. Each project or experiment explores a different feature, with emphasis
on changes that can increase productivity, simplify programming tasks, and help
you add new functionality to your applications.
This one-of-a-kind book also offers suggestions for further experimentation,
links to on-line documentation and other sources of information, and practical
notes and warnings from the author.
The new Developer's Notebooks series from O'Reilly offers an in-depth first
look at important new tools for software developers. Emphasizing example over
explanation and practice over theory, they focus on learning by doing you'll
get the goods straight from the masters, in an informal and code-intensive style.
For those who want to get up speed with VB 2005 right away, this is the perfect
all lab, no lecture guide.
