A beginner’s guide to Visual Basic 2005 Express with a twist—short movies on CD-ROM that show exactly how to write programs. Best-selling author Wallace Wang explains not just how to do things but also why, making this book perfect for novice programmers. Visual Basic 2005 Express: Now Playing starts with a short primer on the general principles of computer programming, so readers will grasp the fundamentals and then apply them to Visual Basic Express. The first CD includes numerous short source code examples that readers can run and modify, along with movies demonstrating how to accomplish specific tasks; the second CD contains a full working version of Visual Basic Express.

'Visual Basic 2005 Express: Now Playing' is a wonderful starter book for anyone that is new to Visual Basic and wants to quickly get their feet wet and start rapidly developing applications which can do more than you might have ever expected! Written in a nice, easy to follow style by Wallace Wang, this text has the typical No Starch design which is not only easy on the eyes but the brain as well. Logically separated out into 30 chapters (this might sound like a lot but I assure you it's not overpowering), this book assumes that you have little to no programming experience, and it won't have you running in the other direction like some other 1,000 page books might, covered front to back in terms and words that are truly overkill.

If you are new to programming with Visual Basic or want to learn about some of the new features that are part of the 2005 API, pick up this text and you'll be programming in no time!!

***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
