en Limba Engleză Mixed media product – 2 iul 2008
Now in its Seventh Edition, Schneider’s “tried and true” text – consistently praised by both students and instructors – is designed for students with no prior computer programming experience. Now updated for Visual Basic 2008, Schneider focuses on teaching problem-solving skills and sustainable programming skills. A broad range of real-world examples, section-ending exercises, case studies, and programming projects gives students significant hands-on experience.

Notă biografică

David I. Schneider spent over 32 years teaching at the University of Maryland, and has published an impressive 28 books over the past 18 years. He is the author of several best-selling texts, including his Visual Basic Series with Prentice Hall. Why are his books best-sellers? Students love his extensive use of examples and applications—a concept that stems from his teaching experience and results in books that are "tried and true." His best-selling Visual Basic texts have been successfully used for many years and have received consistent praise from both students and instructors.

Caracteristici

Strong emphasis on problem solving throughout the book. Schneider introduces a problem-solving strategy early in the book and revisits it throughout; flow charts and pseudo code are also heavily used.
 
Focuses on the essential topics a student needs to know.  For instance, when discussing variables, Schneider initially presents just three data types, in order to keep students focused on learning to use variables.
 
Gradual introduction to object-oriented programming.
-  Although students begin to use predefined classes early in the book, they do not begin to create classes until the very end.
– Objects are given familiar names, rather than programming terminology, to keep them in context.
 
Carefully designed exercise sets at the end of each section contain 150 examples and over 1000 exercises, substantially more than competing books.
 
Practice problems with solutions are specifically chosen to focus on potential trouble spots and provide a warm-up to the exercises.
 
The Instructor Resource Center contains the solutions to every exercise and programming project, a test item file, PowerPoint slides, and more for each chapter.
 

Caracteristici noi

The book covers Visual Basic 2008 (rather than Visual Basic 2005, as in the previous edition) and explains the relevant new features in the context of learning how to program.
 
Students get into programming earlier, with Chapter 1 condensed and combined with Chapter 2.
– Section 1.2 (Using Windows) and Section 1.3 (Files and Folders) have been dramatically shortened and combined into a brief section that covers the preliminaries of Windows.
– Some additional material will be moved to Appendix B.
 
The real-life data in the examples and exercises has been updated and revised.
 
Text files are dealt with inside the Visual Basic environment instead of with Notepad.
 
Message boxes are invoked with MessageBox.show instead of MsgBox. 
 
All screen captures now feature Windows Vista.
