Master the fundamentals of programming in a self-paced learning environment!

Offering a solid programming foundation for anyone embarking on an MIS career, Grandon Gill's Introduction to Programming Using Visual C++ .NET will help you develop strong structured programming techniques, problem-solving skills, and perhaps most importantly, a deeper understanding of what it means to program computers.

Focus on core programming skills: The text emphasizes structured programming techniques&;&;the building blocks for all forms of programming&;&;then concludes with a systematic treatment of objects.

Learn how to modify existing code: Chances are, you won't be developing an application entirely from scratch. That's why this text emphasizes how to incorporate existing code elements into your own programs.

Use what you've learned: A wide variety of exercises provide numerous opportunities for practice and reflect many of the types of problems that you might be expected to work on in the real world.

See how it's done: A CD packaged with the text features almost 20 hours of video segments that are tightly integrated into the chapters.

Create flow charts and transform them into code: FlowC software, which is also included on the enclosed CD, is a Windows-based program developed by the author that allows you to create flowcharts and then automatically transform them into C++ code, as well as pseudocode.

Debug your own programs: Debugging tools are integrated into the text and exercises within Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET environment.
