Review

This book assumes no previous Visual Basic knowledge and offers a perfect introduction to programming with VB 2012 and Windows 8. Concepts and techniques are introduced with easy to follow code examples, exercises, and complete applications.

The book starts of slowly by teaching you the basics of VB 2012 and creating your first simple VB application. You will then quickly learn more advanced topics such as using controls, design user interfaces with XAML, debugging your applications, managing your data with arrays and LINQ, and finally, delivering your applications to the Windows Store.

Michael Halvorson has written yet another great beginner VB book. If you're new to VB and are looking to build a solid foundation in VB 2012 programming, then start here.
