Mastering Visual Basic .NET - Evangelos Petroutsos

Visual Basic .NET is released shortly after the tenth anniversary of the first version of VB. The original language that changed the landscape of computing has lasted for 10 years and has enabled more programmers to write Windows application than any other language. Programmers who invested in Visual Basic 10 years ago are in demand today. In the world of computing, however, things change very fast, including languages. At some point, they either die, or they evolve into something new. Visual Basic was a language designed primarily for developing Windows applications. It was a simple language, because it managed to hide many of the low-level details of the operating system. Those who wanted to do more with Visual Basic had to resort to Windows API. In a way, earlier versions of Visual Basic were ‘sandboxed’ to protect developers from scary details.

Pro WPF with VB 2008 - Matthew MacDonald

About This Book

This book is an in-depth exploration of WPF for professional developers who know the .NET platform, the VB language, and the Visual Studio development environment. Previous experience with Windows Forms is useful but not required to get the most out of this book. This book provides a complete description of every major WPF feature, from XAML (the markup language used to define WPF user interfaces) to 3-D drawing and animation. Along the way, you’ll occasionally work with code that involves other features of the .NET Framework, such as the ADO.NET classes you use to query a database. These features aren’t discussed here. Instead, if you want more information about .NET features that aren’t specific to WPF, you can refer to one of the many dedicated .NET titles from Apress.
