Introduces flowcharting as a design technique.
Programming and Standards A comprehensive programming course in VB. VB is an ideal first programming language as it is a lot more fun than command line languages, results are more spectacular and more immediate. VB automatically spots syntax errors at the point of typing giving the learner instant feed back and much greater motivation than conventional teaching languages that tend to be severely restricted and generally unrealistic. Today’s students take rapidly to VB as it mirrors their expectations of a programming language in its event driven model which is usually the only kind of programming that these students have ever seen! There is also a Design & Standards document in PDF format that covers the issues of design, debugging and documentation.
From the simplest of programs...
...to making decisions...

algorithm on the array can be seen as the program executes.
There are animations and screenshots showing how to use VB.
Exercises are at the end of each chapter.
