Synopsis

This course uses Microsoft Visual Basic to build upon the solid foundations in traditional programming techniques gained in the introductory programming course. It progresses to further develop object-based procedure and event-driven programming skills so that very solid programming techniques may be developed. VB provides an easy-to-use graphical design interface allowing students to quickly and easily design visually-oriented applications using graphical controls such as text boxes, list boxes, and command buttons. These controls simplify the task of providing standard Windows interfaces for end-users. The course expands upon interface design concepts, introduces the use of databases as a data source, as well as the development of report production techniques.
