Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0

This text is designed for a beginning programming course. It uses Visual Basic 6.0 to teach programming concepts, and has a two-pronged approach. First, this book teaches programming concepts using a task-driven, rather than a command-driven, approach. By working through the tutorials, which are each motivated by a realistic case, students learn how to use programming applications that they are likely to encounter in the workplace. Second, the content, organization, and pedagogy of this book exploits the Windows environment. The material presented in the tutorials seeks to capitalize on Visual Basic's power to perform complex programming tasks earlier and more easily than was possible under DOS.
