Course Description:

Learn Visual Basic 6.0 is a 10 week, self-paced overview of the Visual Basic programming language and environment.  Upon completion of the course, you will:

1.      Understand the benefits of using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 as an application development tool.

2.      Understand the Visual Basic event-driven programming concepts, terminology, and available tools.

3.      Learn the fundamentals of designing, implementing, and distributing a wide variety of Visual Basic applications.

Learn Visual Basic 6.0 is presented using a combination of course notes (written in Microsoft Word format) and over 60 Visual Basic examples and applications.

Course Prerequisites:

To grasp the concepts presented in Learn Visual Basic 6.0, you should possess a working knowledge of Windows 95 and have had some exposure to programming concepts.  If you have never programmed a computer before, you’ll have to put in a little more effort - perhaps, find a book in your local library on programming using QBasic or some other dialect of the Basic computer language.

You will also need the ability to view and print documents saved in Microsoft Word for Windows 95 format.  This can be accomplished in one of two ways.  The first, and easiest, is that you already have Microsoft Word for Windows 95 on your computer.  The second way, and a bit more difficult, is that you can download Word Viewer for Windows 95.  This is a free Microsoft product that allows viewing Word documents - it is available for download at all the major shareware internet sites (ZDNet, Download.Com, SoftSeek).

Finally, and most obvious, you need to have Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, preferably the Professional Edition.  Learn Visual Basic 6.0 does not cover the rudiments of navigating in Visual Basic 6.0.  You should be familiar with the simple tasks of using the menus, the toolbar, resizing windows, and moving windows around.  Visual Basic 6.0 provides an excellent tutorial with instruction on such tasks.
