This book teaches Java to professional Visual Basic programmers by presenting a VB program to do some task, then developing a Java program that accomplishes the same thing. The examples are small, clear, and executable, using the latest version of VB Professional, Sun Java Workshop, and UML. The sample programs and an evaluation copy of Java development software are on the enclosed CD. The book is modular, providing sections that may be skipped depending on the needs and background of the reader. Each chapter features objectives, assumed knowledge, key words and concepts, summary of key points, and a recommended reading list. Caution notes highlight important differences between Visual Basic and Java, especially where the Java code may not execute as expected by VB programmers. A running case study throughout the book illustrates the concept of object-oriented programming.
