The new edition of Visual Basic for Education
is based on the .NET framework. Like its

interesting to secondary students. The .NET
framework represents a significant upgrade to the previous
versions of Visual Basic, and as such presents many
challenges to educators. This text has been designed
to be easy to use and flexible enough to be used in
virtually any existing course structure.
Consisting of fourteen chapters and over 320 pages, each programming concept is discussed with examples and screen captures to demonstrate their use. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM which contains over 30 programs and tutorials. The book also comes with a section containing test questions which can be adapted and freely used.
