Overview
Demonstrates how the nature of this extremely innovative and successful ``visual'' programming language encourages programmers to think of an application from the end-user perspective and how this change of focus can have tremendous beneficial effects on the development of software applications. The principles of event-driven programming, rapid prototyping, graphical front ends, external libraries, components and controls are among the topics discussed.This book discusses a revolutionary end-user centered approach to programming using Visual BASIC. The author describes proven strategies and techniques for exploiting the unique properties of this extremely popular visual programming language to build software from the "outside in"--in other words, from the end-user's point of view.
