The extensive changes to Visual Basic and the newness of the .NET platform call for a VB .NET reference guide oriented toward professional developers--those deeply experienced in Visual Basic and those adding VB .NET to their list of mastered languages. VB .NET Language in a Nutshell answers the call. As a reference book, it doesn't waste space on simple concepts, but documents, using practical examples, how language elements work, alternative approaches, optimal usage, and potential pitfalls.As a quick introduction, the first section of VB .NET Language in a Nutshell leads you through the important areas of programming VB .NET, including:
<ul>
<li>Variables and Data Types</li>
<li>Introduction to Object Oriented Programming</li>
<li>The .NET Framework: General Concepts</li>
<li>The .NET Framework Class Library</li>
<li>Delegates and Events</li>
<li>Error Handling</li>
</ul>The meat of the book is the alphabetical reference to the functions, statements, directives, objects, and object members that make up the VB .NET language. As an experienced developer, you can quickly get the whole story on a language element that interests you or seems to be behaving unexpectedly in your code. To ease your transition to .NET, there's a "VB .NET/VB 6 Differences" section for each language element.A hefty appendix section includes:<ul>
<li>What's New and Different in VB .NET</li>
<li>Language Elements by category</li>
<li>Operators</li>
<li>Constants and Enumerations</li>
<li>The VB .NET Command Line Compiler</li>
<li>VB 6 Language Elements Not Supported by VB .NET</li>
</ul>No matter how much experience you have programming with VB, this is the kind of book you'll want to have close by, both as your standard reference guide and as a tool for troubleshooting and identifying programming problems.

Microsoft's Visual Basic Scripting Edition (Vbscript), a subset of Visual Basic for Applications, is a powerful language for Internet application development, where it can serve as a scripting language for server-side, client-side, and system scripting. Whether you're developing code for Active Server Pages, client-side scripts for Internet Explorer, code for Outlook forms, or scripts for Windows Script Host, Vbscript Pocket Reference will be your constant companion. Don't let the pocket-friendly format fool you. Based on the bestselling Vbscript in a Nutshell, this small book details every Vbscript language element-every statement, function, and object-both in Vbscript itself, and in the Microsoft Scripting Runtime Library. There's a special emphasis on the following details: The syntax, using standard code conventions The arguments accepted by the function or procedure, if any exist Entries are arranged alphabetically by topic, so that you can, for instance, easily find details about that string-handling function that you can't quite remember. In addition, appendixes list Vbscript operators and Vbscript intrinsic constants. Regardless of how much Vbscript programming experience you have, the Vbscript Pocket Reference is the book you'll pick up time and time again as your standard quick reference guide to the Vbscript language. It is indispensable for anyone writing scripts with Vbscript.

With the release of the Microsoft .NET platform comes a new version of Visual Basicdramatically unlike its predecessors. So extensive are the changes, in fact, thatsome VB programmers argue that Visual Basic .NET is an entirely new programminglanguage. In the updated second edition of this popular book, you will find completedocumentation for the Visual Basic .NET language.
Beginning with a brief overview of the language, VB.NET Language in aNutshell covers basic programming concepts, and introduces the .NET FrameworkClass Library and programming with attributes. The bulk of the book consists of analphabetical reference to Visual Basic .NET statements, procedures, functions, andobjects. Each entry has a standardized listing containing the followinginformation:
<ul>
<li>Its syntax, using standard coding conventions</li>
<li>Differences in the operation of the keyword in Visual Basic .NETand in VB 6.0</li>
<li>A list of arguments accepted by the function or procedure</li>
<li>A description of the data type returned by a function</li>
<li>The finer points of a language element?s usage that are oftenomitted from or blurred over by other sources</li>
<li>Tips and warnings that include undocumented behaviors and practicalapplications for particular language elements</li>
<li>An invaluable section for diagnosing or avoiding potentialprogramming problems</li>
<li>A cross-reference to related keywords</li>
</ul>
On the CD-ROM (included with print edition of the book) is a plug-in that adds acopy of the book's language reference to the dynamic help within Visual Studio .NET.The plug-in requires any edition of Visual Basic .NET or Visual Studio .NET.
No matter how much experience you have programming with VB, you want this bookclose by, both as a standard reference guide and as a tool for troubleshooting andidentifying programming problems.

When Microsoft made Visual Basic into an object-oriented programming language, millions of Vb developers resisted the change to the .Net platform. Now, after integrating feedback from their customers and creating Visual Basic 2005, Microsoft finally has the right carrot. Visual Basic 2005 offers the power of the .Net platform, yet restores the speed and convenience of Visual Basic. Accordingly, we've revised the classic in a Nutshell guide to the Visual Basic language to cover the Visual Basic 2005 version and all of its new features. Unlike other books on the subject, Visual Basic 2005 in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition doesn't assume you're a novice. It's a detailed, professional reference to the Visual Basic language-a reference that you can use to jog your memory about a particular language element or parameter. It'll also come in handy when you want to make sure that there isn't some "gotcha" you've overlooked with a particular language feature. The book is divided into three major parts: Part I introduces the main features and concepts behind Visual Basic programming; Part Ii thoroughly details all the functions, statements, directives, objects, and object members that make up the Visual Basic language; and Part Iii contains a series of helpful appendices. Some of the new features covered include Generics, a convenient new library called My Namespace, and the operators used to manipulate data in Visual Basic. No matter how much experience you have programming with Visual Basic, you want Visual Basic 2005 in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition close by, both as a standard reference guide and as a tool for troubleshooting and identifying programming problems.

In spite of all the power built into popular web utilities, the informality, ease, and rapid development cycle of scripting languages make them well suited to the constant change common to most web sites.Scripting Languages: Automating the Web guides users and developers in choosing and deploying scripting solutions. End users benefit from client-side scripting to make pages livelier, to automate form-filling, and to accelerate web user interfaces like live select-box widgets. Even the most basic web server software has scripting gateways to create more active web content. Server-side includes and markup allow servers to customize pages on-the-fly. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) hooks allow developers to create entire pages and graphics under program control.This issue of the World Wide Web Journal explores how users can add scriptable and extensible behavior to the Web in a variety of ways. For example, within the web client user interface, we offer articles on JavaScript (Nick Heinle), Python (Guido van Rossum), and VBScript (Paul Lomax). Next, within the web server programming interface, see Lincoln Stein's article on exploring CGI with Perl, Ron Petrusha's "Why WIN-CGI?", and Clint Wong's description of LWP -- the library modules for WWW access in Perl. Finally, as a back-end gateway to other services, are articles on World Wide Web gateways (Shishir Gundavaram) and web database connectivity with scripting (Peter Lazar).In addition, this issue examines the web-wide impact of Perl as the scripting language of choice for webmasters everywhere, with an in-depth article featuring Perl developers Larry Wall and Tom Christiansen.
