Practical Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET

The most up-to-date Visual Basic.NET programming textbook--covering both fundamentals and advanced-level programming techniques--complete with examples and solutions

Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented computer programming language that can be viewed as an evolution of the classic Visual Basic (VB), which is implemented on the .NET Framework. Microsoft currently supplies two major implementations of Visual Basic: Microsoft Visual Studio (which is commercial software) and Microsoft Visual Studio Express (which is free of charge).
