A Rigorous Course Sequence Based on VB.NET Qi Yang Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering University of Wisconsin - Platteville Email: YangQ@uwplatt.edu Abstract We offer three courses on VB.NET for our computer science students. The first course focuses on GUI controls and event procedures. The second course covers the OO features of VB.NET and other advanced topics. The last course uses VB.NET with ASP.NET to create Web applications and Web services. VB.NET is also used in our Database Design and Implementation course. In all the three VB.NET courses, hands-on testing is used for the tests. Although it’s open computer and open book, the students must program by themselves to create running programs. Programming in Visual Basic Our first course on VB.NET is CS2340 – Programming in Visual Basic. The course requires CS I and we use C++ in our CS I course. Although the students understand the basic programming concepts, programming GUI controls, especially the event procedures are new to the students. The students also learn how to connect to MS Access databases at design time. The concept of Object Oriented Programming is not covered in the course, but the students gain significant experience in OO programming, since VB forms and all controls are classes. This should help the students to take our CS II course, which covers the concept of Object Oriented Programming. One example is multi-form applications. The students are required to use code module with main sub and create an object for each form class. One difficult issue for the students is to write the form resize event procedure to place controls on a form at run time. It requires some mathematical skil
