About the Book (from the Back Cover Copy)

Written for C#, C++, Java or other-high level language programmers, this book applies the Deitel signature live-code approach to teaching programming and explores Microsoft’s Visual Basic language and the new .NET 2.0 in depth. Th e book is updated for Visual Studio^® 2005 and presents Visual Basic concepts in fully tested programs, complete with syntax shading, line-by-line code descriptions, and program outputs. The book features 200+ applications with 16,000+ lines of proven Visual Basic code, and hundreds of programming tips that help you build robust applications.

Start with a concise introduction to Visual Basic fundamentals using an early classes and objects approach, then rapidly move on to more advanced topics, including multithreading, XML, ADO.NET 2.0, ASP.NET 2.0, Web services, network programming, .NET remoting,
generics and collections. Along the way you’ll enjoy the Deitels’ classic treatment of object-oriented programming and a new, OOD/UML™ ATM case study, including a
complete Visual Basic implementation. When you are ﬁ nished, you’ll be well on your way to building next generation Windows applications, Web applications, and Web services.

[Important note: This book is intended for the professional market and does not include much of the introductory pedagogy, exercises or end-of-chapter material typically found in our How to Program Series college textbooks. No instructor resources are available. If you are teaching an upcoming Visual Basic college or professional training course, check out our Visual Basic 2005 How to Program, 3/e and Simply Visual Basic .NET 2003 textbooks (each with full ancillary support).

"This new Chapter 3 introduces OOP without burying the reader in complexity. I think the level of conceptual
detail is perfect. This will be a great help the next time I teach 101. ... I was introduced to JHTP by my
students who pleaded with me to drop our current assigned text in favor of JHTP. No other text comes close
to its quality of organization and presentation. Its Live-Code approach to presenting exemplary code makes a
big difference in the learning outcome." —Walt Bunch, Chapman University

Simply Series (for the classroom, self-study and distance learning programs)

Simply C++, 1/e This Deitel Simply Series combines the our signature live-code approach (emphasizing complete, working programs, rather than code snippets, and always showing sample outputs) with an application-driven methodology, in which readers build real-world applications that incorporate programming fundamentals. Using a step-by-step tutorial approach, readers learn programming basics. Each successive tutorial builds on previous concepts and introduces new programming features. Many Simply Series books also include higher-end topics such as database programming, multimedia and graphics, and Web applications development. These books are appropriate for the classroom, for self-study and for distance learning programs.
