Visual Basic Express was developed specifically for the beginning computer programmer. To help kids learn how to use Visual Basic Express to build Windows applications, we have developed VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS FOR KIDS. This is an introduction to computer programming that provides an interactive, self-paced tutorial to the new Visual Basic Express programming environment.
VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS FOR KIDS is a tutorial consisting of 10 chapters explaining (in simple, easy-to-follow terms) how to build a Visual Basic Express Windows application. Students learn about project design, the Visual Basic Express toolbox, and many elements of the BASIC language. Numerous examples are used to demonstrate every step in the building process. The tutorial also includes several detailed computer projects for students to build and try. These projects include a number guessing game, a card game, an allowance calculator, a drawing program, a state capitals game, Tic-Tac-Toe and even a simple video game. VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS FOR KIDS is presented using a combination of over 400 pages of course notes and actual Visual Basic Express examples. This material should be understandable to kids aged 10 and up. No programming experience is necessary, but familiarity with doing common tasks using Windows is expected. Included with the course is free, unlimited support and advice via e-mail.
