Summary

Microsoft Visual Basic 2005: RELOADED, Second Edition leverages the powerful pedagogy of the first edition, but takes it to the next level with Visual Basic 2005. The highly visual four-color interior clearly illustrates topics and features such as Tips and How To boxes. Added to the end of every chapter is an exciting tutorial in which students create and program a game. Complete programming examples have been updated at the end of each chapter, allowing students to see the concepts they have learned and how they are applied. The new Self-Check Question and Answer sections allow students to determine whether they understand the topics. Quick Reviews and Key Terms, as well as a Glossary at the end of the book, provide easy reference for important concepts and terms.
