Murach’s Visual Basic 2012, 5th Edition

Posted: 31 Dec 2013 02:52 AM PST

Book Description

Ever since we published the first edition of our Visual Basic .NET book back in 2002, we’ve been getting comments like these:

“Your Visual Basic book is so good, I opened it and did the whole application from scratch (even though I’d never tried VB before).”

“I can’t praise this book highly enough. The clarity Anne uses in picking what to include, when to introduce it, and how to do so is remarkable.”

“Had I bought your VB book first, I would have saved myself lots of dollars and several months’ time.”

Now, Anne Boehm continues this tradition of quality and usefulness in the latest edition of our VB text, written for Visual Basic 2012.

Of course, the content continues to evolve with the language. So in this edition, Anne has added a chapter on Windows 8 programming that gets you started creating touchscreen applications for tablets. And she’s updated the material wherever VB 2012 differs from earlier releases.

But she hasn’t changed the overall approach. So whether you’re new to VB development…or you’re upgrading to VB 2012 and need an up-to-date reference…you’ll find that this book is packed with the information you need, delivered in a way that’s made earlier editions such favorites among professional developers:

  • It’s concise, practical, and crystal-clear in telling you what you need to know.
  • It shows you how to get the most from Visual Studio 2012 as you design, code, debug, and deploy Windows Forms applications using VB 2012.
  • It gives you solid training in the essential skills that you’ll use every day, including data validation…handling numeric, date, and string data…working with arrays and collections…handling exceptions…working with text, binary, and XML files…and understanding how OOP works.
  • It gives you a 4-chapter section on database programming…far more than you’ll find in any other VB book, even though database handling is essential in business applications.
  • It introduces you to LINQ, the .NET feature that lets you use VB to query almost any data source, from databases to arrays to XML files.
  • It shows you how to build real-world applications so you always see how the features you’re learning interact with each other.
  • It gives you chapter exercises that let you practice what you’re learning and apply your skills in new ways.

In short, if you’re going to be working with Visual Basic 2012, take the advice of your fellow developers: Save yourself some time and money by making this book your first choice for VB 2012 education and reference.

Who this book is for
This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to use VB 2012 to develop Windows Forms applications:

  • If you’ve never used VB before, you’ll start at the beginning but move at a pace that has you developing business applications in a minimum of time.
  • If you’re new to the .NET environment, you’ll learn how to use Visual Studio 2012 and all of the great productivity tools it has to offer as you learn Visual Basic.
  • If you have experience with a previous version of Visual Basic, you’ll upgrade easily to VB 2012, focusing on the features and development techniques that are new to you.

And even though the focus is on Windows Forms, the skills you’ll gain will apply to any .NET application…whether for Windows, the web, or mobile devices.

Murach’s ASP.NET 4.5 Web Programming with VB 2012, 5th Edition

Posted: 31 Dec 2013 02:47 AM PST

Book Description

If you know how to create Windows applications using Visual Basic, you’re ready for this latest edition of our classic web programming book.

It will get you off to a fast start with web programming, no matter whether you’re coming to ASP.NET 4.5 with a background in an earlier release of ASP.NET, Java servlets/JSP, PHP…or with no web background at all.

In fact, by the end of chapter 5, you’ll know how to use Visual Studio 2012 to develop and test multi-page database applications for the web.

But this book is much more than a beginning book. By the time you’re done, you’ll have the professional skills you need to develop bullet-proof web applications for business. You’ll also find that this book does double duty as the best on-the-job reference book that money can buy.

Everything you need to know to get going on web development

Look at the table of contents, and you’ll see why we say that this book covers what you need to know to develop web applications at the professional level. That includes skills like:

  • Managing state
  • Validating input data
  • Handling database data with SQL and object data sources, as well as with time-saving data controls like GridView, DetailsView, FormView, ListView, and DataPager
  • Knowing how HTML5 and CSS3 fit into ASP.NET applications, so you can tweak that code as needed
  • Creating user-friendly sites with master pages, themes, and site navigation features
  • Using friendly URLs that improve search engine results
  • Handling common frustrations, like back-button refreshes, with ease
  • Deploying web applications on a remote server
  • Using ASP.NET Ajax to create rich Internet applications (RIAs)
  • Developing and consuming WCF and Web API services that can be hosted by one web server and used by other web sites
  • Getting started with ASP.NET MVC…a whole different approach to web programming than Web Forms…so you can decide whether that’s the next step for you

Who this book is for
If you have a core set of Visual Basic programming skills, you’re ready for this book. In fact, we’re confident that it will teach you ASP.NET faster and better than any competing book. That’s true whether you’re new to web programming or whether you’re coming to it with a background in another server-side language.

  • Master the essential skills: Enhance the Tip Calculator app to master the skills that are critical to developing attractive and professional apps. For example, learn how to work with layouts, widgets, events, themes, styles, menus, preferences, and fragments.
  • Build your skills with the News Reader app: Learn how to develop a News Reader app that reads data from the Internet without blocking the user interface. Then, learn how to use files, adapters, and intents to work with this data. In addition, learn how to create services that run in the background and how to use receivers to respond to actions that are broadcast by the system or by other apps.
  • Build your skills with the Task List app: Learn how to develop a Task List app that uses a SQLite database. Then, learn how to use custom adapters, content providers, and app widgets to work with that database.
  • Use the next generation of Google Maps: Version 2 of the Google Maps Android API is giving birth to a new generation of location-aware apps. This book gets you started with this powerful API and positions you to learn more on your own.
