The VBScript standard has changed over time, and several new things have been introduced since this book first published in 1999. The current standard for VBScript is 5.6. The script debugger, script control, and script encoder have all changed and the Windows Script Component Wizard, regular expressions, and remote scripting have been introduced. Windows Script Host technology has also matured over time and gained in both effectiveness and popularity.

VBScript Programmer's Reference, 2nd Edition begins with discussion of the general syntax, functions, keywords, style, error handling, and similar language-specific topics and then moves into an expanded reference section covering the object models in detail. The book combines a comprehensive overview of the VBScript technology and associated technologies with practical examples at every stage from beginner to advanced user.

This book is targeted at experienced Visual Basic 6 developers who are looking toward the future � Microsoft's .NET platform and its associated Framework. The aim of this book is bring VB6 developers quickly up to speed in these (and other) new important features of Visual Basic .NET.

This book covers not only a new version of Visual Basic, but also the new programming platform on which it runs. It is aimed at developers with a good working knowledge of VB, or ASP and VBScript. No attempt is made at providing a tutorial about the VB language, other than comparisons between VB6 and Visual Basic .NET code techniques, so a good familiarity with VB6 (or at least VBA or VBScript) is necessary to get the full benefit from this book.

This book will also appeal to web developers who are using ASP.NET and intend to use the VB language when developing their ASP.NET sites. The level of integration between ASP.NET and Visual Basic .NET far exceeds that between ASP and VB6, and a comprehensive understanding of Visual Basic .NET will be a huge asset to any web developer using ASP.NET.

The .NET Framework provides a powerful new way to program for both Windows and the Internet, and this may well attract experienced developers from other platforms and languages to .NET and the Visual Basic .NET language. This book will appeal to these people as it provides discussion and examples of commonly performed programming tasks and techniques, allowing rapid transition from other platforms or languages to Visual Basic .NET.

Welcome to the new version of Visual Basic for 2005. As its name implies, Visual Basic is a visual way to create new programs for the Micro$oft Windows family of operating systems.

And though it is basic in many ways, the Visual Basic language is also very powerful. You can create new class libraries and XML Web services, as well as programs that you can use on your PC or your Web browser, or even your phone or PDA. Anything that can be done in Windows can be done in Visual Basic.

Programming in Visual Basic is easier than you might think, thanks to the visual tools supplied by Visual Studio. You don�t have to type line after line of code to create a working program � Visual Studio automatically generates some code for you when you drag and drop components with the visual tools. Of course, being able to read and write code is important too, and this book provides plenty of code samples so you can understand the inner workings of your programs.

This book also shows you some best practices to keep in mind as you get further along in your programming. Your first programs may be very simple, but when you start getting into more complicated applications, you really need to plan out your program before you start writing the code.

This book will show you how to think about similarities in your application logic and how to design and create objects that maximize the benefit and power of .NET. Packed with examples that will guide you through every step, Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic .NET is for those with some programming experience.

This book is not a reference. That needs to be said right off the bat. It was written to be read cover to cover; it tells a story. It's an interwoven tale about object-oriented programming in the .NET world: building objects, moving them, and using them around the world. This is not just a how-to book; it's a why-to and a when-to book as well.

At times, this book is ideal for beginners. At other times, it is for intermediate programmers. And sometimes, it is for advanced coders. Regardless of your skills, this book assumes three things: the .NET Framework is installed on a machine and under your control, you have access to a web server, and, when you get curious, you know how to look up whatever interests you in the documentation. .NET is massive. However, I wasn't able to cover every subject; I wanted the book to be manageable for the readers, fun, and informative.

This book introduces Visual Basic from an object-oriented viewpoint, with a rigor and accessibility perfect for students learning their first programming language. Rich in the pedagogical style that is the trademark of the Dale series of programming texts, this Visual Basic text provides straightforward explanations, meaningful examples, and engaging exercises. Students develop good programming habits right from the start and acquire a thorough understanding of classes, methods, object-oriented concepts, and algorithms. The Visual Basic Graphical User Interface (GUI) is extensively discussed, which complements the text's emphasis on fundamental programming concepts. The active learning methodology and rich topic coverage of this text thoroughly prepare students for future study.

The focus of this book is on the fundamentals of programming. Each chapter focuses on one of the major programming constructs of the language. User interface details, while not ignored, are kept to the basics of form design in Visual Basic .NET. I wrote this book feeling that once the reader has a good grasp of using Visual Basic .NET, the reader can venture out on his or her own to learn more about user interface design and development.
