Who Should Attend

This course is geared for application developers. It is also useful for managers and other computer professionals who want both a conceptual and a hands-on appreciation of what it takes to build programs with a graphical user interface.

Prerequisites

Basic programming concepts (such as variables, control flow, subroutines), and experience with any high-level programming language.

What you will learn

This course covers the essential Visual Basic development tools, user interface objects, object properties, procedures, and language elements. The course is organized around a series of application development projects. After this course, you will be able to:

• Create an application user interface consisting of Forms and Controls
• Attach code to Forms and Controls to make them responsive to user activity
• Add additional code if necessary to create fully functional applications
• Test and refine applications using debugging tools.
• Package the applications into a stand-alone program that can function outside of the Visual Basic development environment
