Introduction to Visual Basic 2008

Visual Basic 2008 is Microsoft's latest incarnation of the enormously popular Visual Basic language, and it's fundamentally different from the versions that came before it. Visual Basic 2008 is now more powerful and more capable than ever before, and its features and functionality are on par with "higher level" languages such as C++. One consequence of this newfound power is added complexity. Gone are the days when you could sit down with Visual Basic and the online Help and teach yourself what you needed to know to create a functional program.

This tutorial is divided into 14 chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of developing applications with Visual Basic 2008. These chapters generally follow the flow of tasks you'll perform as you begin creating your own programs using Visual Basic 2008. I recommend that you read them in the order in which they appear.
