An introduction to programming in Microsoft and Visual Basic on the IBM PC and IBM PC compatibles. This text contains programming projects that reflect the variety of ways that computers are used in business and engineering and presents games and general interest topics. It uses case studies that focus on programming applications where the problems are analyzed and the programs are developed with top-down charts and pseudocode. The book covers strings throughout to prepare readers for substantial string handling programs, and introduces arrays gently. This second edition updates the operating system to Windows 95 and the programming language to Visual Basic 4.0. It also expands coverage of data control to include a discussion of the use of Visual Basic as a front end for database programming and also explains how to access the Internet with Visual Basic.
