This course is designed to introduce students to the concepts of computer programming using the Visual BASIC programming environment. The student will write programs to implement a variety of typical applications. There will be an emphasis on structured programming techniques, writing readable code and developing user-friendly programs. Concepts introduced will include: data types, constants and variables, flow of control, decisions and loops, forms and simple Visual BASIC controls as elements of the user interface, arrays, scope of variables, functions, string manipulation, rudimentary file operations, and error handling.
This course is taught using the current version of Visual BASIC from Microsoft.
