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.
