Doing Objects in Visual Basic 2005 is the authoritative guide to object-oriented design, architecture, and development with Visual Basic 2005. Author Deborah Kurata is the original pioneer in building object-oriented applications with Visual Basic. In this book she continues to offer clarity and deliver best practices for using object-oriented techniques in Visual Basic 2005. She has been honored with Microsoft’s prestigious MVP designation for her expertise and contributions to the community. Kurata begins with a concise introduction to core object-oriented concepts and the Visual Basic 2005 features that support them. Next she introduces a pragmatic and agile approach to designing effective applications along with an application framework. From there she walks you through the process of building the user interface, business logic, and data access layers of an application, highlighting key VB 2005 techniques and best practices. Kurata’s step-by-step “building along” activities provide you with deep hands-on mastery; your finished application can serve as the starting point for virtually any custom project. This book Shows how the tools in Visual Studio 2005 combined with a solid object-oriented approach can help minimize the complexities of software development and improve productivity Clearly explains the fundamental concepts of object development: classes, inheritance, interfaces, scenarios, and more Presents a pragmatic agile software design methodology to help analyze and design applications for the real world Covers building the user interface layer using a base form class, programmatic interfaces, and object binding Details building the business logic layer using a base business object class and validation rules Demonstrates how to build the data access layer using ADO.NET Provides best practices and tips for experienced .NET developers, those new to .NET, and for those developers moving from VB6 to .NET
Visual Basic 6 lets programmers create everything from simple programs to advanced, enterprise-wide client/server and three-tier applications. New features in Visual Basic 6 include VB-to-web applications using Active Server Pages, an optimized p-code .EXE compiler, Visual Interdev object support, SQL, COM, and ActiveX support, and the capability to build powerful Windows interfaces. Visual Basic 6 enables an intermediate VB programmer to link Access, SQL, and larger databases to ActiveX and CGI controls on Intranets and the Internet.
Ready-to-use building blocks for integrated circuit design. Why start coding from scratch when you can work from this library of pre-tested routines, created by an HDL expert? There are plenty of introductory texts to describe the basics of Verilog, but "Verilog Designer's Library" is the only book that offers real, reusable routines that you can put to work right away. "Verilog Designer's Library" organizes Verilog routines according to functionality, making it easy to locate the material you need. Each function is described by a behavioral model to use for simulation, followed by the RTL code you'll use to synthesize the gate-level implementation. Extensive test code is included for each function, to assist you with your own verification efforts. Coverage includes: Essential Verilog coding techniques Basic building blocks of successful routines State machines and memories Practical debugging guidelines Although "Verilog Designer's Library" assumes a basic familiarity with Verilog structure and syntax, it does not require a background in programming. Beginners can work through the book in sequence to develop their skills, while experienced Verilog users can go directly to the routines they need. Hardware designers, systems analysts, VARs, OEMs, software developers, and system integrators will find it an ideal sourcebook on all aspects of Verilog development.
