Microsoft Visual Basic is a rich programming language that leverages every aspect of the .NET framework. With it you can write every type of application, from console apps to scalable web applications. It works with Windows Forms, WPF and Universal Windows applications too. In this course we’ll look at the fundamentals of Visual Basic. First, we get comfortable with the language syntax and explore the Visual Studio code editors. We’ll explore how to debug your code and write exception handlers Before you know it, we’ll be finishing up the course with logic statements and working with Lists and LINQ.
The Microsoft® Visual Basic® programming language is a high-level programming language for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Although it is designed to be an approachable and easy-to-learn language, it is also powerful enough to satisfy the needs of experienced programmers. The Visual Basic programming language has a syntax that is similar to English, which promotes the clarity and readability of Visual Basic code. Wherever possible, meaningful words or phrases are used instead of abbreviations, acronyms, or special characters.
This course looks at the fundamental concepts that are part of the Visual Basic language. The courses uses Visual Studio 2019 and has course examples available in Console and Windows desktop formats.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is chapter#-video#. As an example, the branch named 02-03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning state (04-01) and an end state (04-01e). The end state videos use e for "end" and contains the code as it is at the end of the video. The master branch holds the initial state of the course and is not used for exercises during the course.
To use these exercise files, follow the instructions in the course to learn how to work with GitHub content. For this course the instructor uses Visual Studio 2019, any edition is sufficient (Community, Professional, Enterprise). Older versions of Visual Studio are compatible with the course.
