Summary

This new title not only serves as a quick on-ramp to Visual Basic .NET, but to .NET programming in general. Learning Visual Basic .NET introduces fundamentals like Visual Studio .NET (a tool set for building XML Web services and Windows-based applications), object-oriented programming principles, and the Visual Basic .NET language itself. Author Jesse Liberty also demonstrates how to develop various kinds of applications, including those that work with databases, and web services.
