The ExpertRating Online Visual Basic Course (Introductory)
(leading to ExpertRating Introduction to Visual Basic 2005 Skills Certification (Introductory)).

Visual Basic is the most widely used programming language for creating Windows applications. Why? It's very easy to learn because it uses keywords that closely resemble the English language, while other programming languages require memorization of commands that bear no resemblance to English.


Another reason for Visual Basic editor's popularity is its development environment, Visual Basic 2005, which enables you to rapidly build Windows applications. Creating a Windows application ordinarily requires you to write lengthy and complex code. But Visual Basic 2005 relieves you of this task. Instead, it enables you to create the application and its components literally with the click of a button or menu item. It even writes all of the necessary code to get the application started for you. You can view and even fine-tune the code, but it spares you a lot of the grunt work.


While Visual Basic 2005 helps you write a Windows application, you still need to write code and be able to plan your application. This course will show you how. You'll learn the building blocks of programming, including using variables, control structures, and loops. You'll find out how to use the large function library built into Visual Basic 2005, including the .NET Framework, as well as how to write and use your own functions. You'll learn how to use the large and varied library of controls Windows offers. And you'll learn how to access files and handle errors. Since Windows applications are event-driven and everything in Visual Basic 2005 is treated as a programmable object, you'll also learn about event-driven and object-oriented programming, concepts important not just in Visual Basic, but also in other programming languages you may want to learn in the future.

Visual Basic. NET has more readability features than any of its contemporaries and contains all the rapid application development (RAD) tools.

Visual Basic. Net is an object oriented computer language which is a boon for software developers. The syntax of Visual Basic. Net is similar to the English language which makes the Visual Basic.Net code very clear and readable. The Visual Basic.Net programming language gives strongly typed semantics which perform all kinds of checking at compile-time and disallow runtime binding of method calls. Visual Basic.Net blends BASIC, the only programming language meant for beginners with a totally discerning drawing program that helps to develop useful user interfaces without having to write a single line of code.


 

Visual Basic Course helps to create graphical applications and build Windows and Web applications. The ExpertRating Visual Basic .NET Certification will help boost your resume by equipping you with knowledge to create graphical user interface applications.

ExpertRating Online Visual Basic Course (Introductory) Coverage (6 weeks program)  

Week One

Wednesday - Lesson 01

The best way to learn programming is to write programs. To get started, you need to obtain and install Visual Basic 2005. In the first lesson, you'll learn which of the different editions of Visual Basic 2005 may be right for you, and how to install Visual Basic 2005 on your computer. You'll then create your first Windows application, and learn how a Windows application works.

Friday - Lesson 02

In the first lesson, you were able to create a working Windows application with just a few mouse clicks. In this lesson, you'll find out what Visual Basic 2005 did behind the scenes to create this application. You'll also learn about properties, which are characteristics of an object—such as its size and color—and how to change those properties.

Week Two

Wednesday - Lesson 03

Windows applications are all about events, such as the event that's caused by a user clicking on a button. In this lesson, you'll learn about event procedures. Later, you'll get your feet wet in Visual Basic by writing your first code.

Friday - Lesson 04

So far the focus has been on the form, perhaps the most important part of a Windows application's graphical user interface, or GUI. However, a form's primary role is to host other controls that enrich the GUI of Windows applications—menus, toolbars, buttons, text boxes, and list boxes. In this lesson, you'll learn how to add controls to your form, and how to write code for these controls.

Week Three

Wednesday - Lesson 05-

Most computer programs store information, or data. You'll learn all about data types, which represent different varieties, such as numeric or text, of data. You'll also learn how to store that information in a variable.

Friday - Lesson 06

It’s amazing to watch the ability of chess computers playing world champions on even terms. The reason the chess computers have this ability is because they can calculate far more quickly and accurately than people can. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use arithmetic operators to harness the computer's calculating ability.

Week Four

Wednesday - Lesson 07

As your programs become more sophisticated, they'll often branch in two or more directions based on whether a condition is true or false. For example, a calculator first needs to determine whether the user chose addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division before performing the indicated arithmetic. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use comparison and logical operators to determine a user's choice.

Friday - Lesson 08

Once you know the user's choice, you'll want to execute different code based on that choice. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use If and Select Case statements to execute alternative code statements.

Week Five

Wednesday - Lesson 09

When you were a child, your parents may have told you not to repeat yourself. However, sometimes your code needs to repeat itself. For example, if your application's user enter invalid data, your code may continue to ask users whether they want to retry or quit until they either enter valid data or quit. In this lesson, you'll learn how to use loops, which repeat code execution until a condition is no longer true. Then you'll learn about arrays, which may hold multiple values at one time, and work very well with loops.

Friday - Lesson 10

Many textbooks are several hundred pages long. Imagine how much harder a textbook would be to understand if it consisted of only one very long chapter, rather than being divided into manageable sections? In this lesson, you'll learn how to similarly divide up your code into separate procedures.

Week Six

Wednesday - Lesson 11

When you finish writing something for the evening, you close the word-processing program, and maybe even shut down the computer. Of course, the next evening you don't have to start over. What you wrote the previous evening is preserved. However, up until now the programs haven't saved data so that it's available even after the application exits. In this lesson, you'll learn how to write code that reads from and writes to a text file. You'll also learn how to add Open and Save dialog boxes, such as those used in sophisticated programs like Microsoft Word, so you can open a text file to read from it, and save to a text file to write to it.

Friday - Lesson 12

Nobody's perfect, right? Well, your applications won't always run perfectly either. Sometimes they'll stop due to a runtime error, also called an exception. In the final lesson, you'll learn how to prevent and handle exceptions.
