Product Description
Appropriate for all basic-to-intermediate level courses in Visual Basic 2008 programming. Created by world-renowned programming instructors Paul and Harvey Deitel, Visual Basic 2008 How to Program, Fourth Edition introduces all facets of the Visual Basic 2008 language hands-on, through hundreds of working programs. This book has been thoroughly updated to reflect the major innovations Microsoft has incorporated in Visual Basic 2008 and .NET 3.5; all discussions and sample code have been carefully audited against the newest Visual Basic language specification. The many new platform features covered in depth in this edition include: LINQ data queries, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), ASP.NET Ajax and the Microsoft Ajax Library, Silverlight-based rich Internet application development, and creating Web services with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). New language features introduced in this edition: object anonymous types, object initializers, implicitly typed local variables and arrays, delegates, lambda expressions, and extension methods. Students begin by getting comfortable with the free Visual Basic Express 2008 IDE and basic VB syntax included on the CD.Next, they build their skills one step at a time, mastering control structures, classes, objects, methods, variables, arrays, and the core techniques of object-oriented programming. With this strong foundation in place, the Deitels introduce more sophisticated techniques, including inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, strings, GUI's, data structures, generics, and collections. Throughout, the authors show developers how to make the most of Microsoft's Visual Studio tools. A series of appendices provide essential programming reference material on topics ranging from number systems to the Visual Studio Debugger, UML 2 to Unicode and ASCII.

A detailed and comprehensive book on Visual Basic 2008 September 17, 2008
This is a detailed and comprehensive book on Visual Basic 2008. There are many examples and case studies (gradually developed) for a reader to hone his Visual Basic programming skills. He also gets to see how Visual Basic 2008 ties in with stuff like WPF, WCF, AJAX and LINQ. The reader who has worked through and mastered the book will be well-equipped to harness Visual Basic 2008 to develop real-world applications. A much easier book for a beginner is Simply Visual Basic 2008. Both books are highly recommended for anyone wishing to learn Visual Basic 2008.
Excellent Book!! September 13, 2008
The book is excellent in presenting a topic and then breaking it apart piece by piece so that you gain even further insight into what is being presented.
