Chapter 5 - VB.NET Language and Syntax - Part 1

Part I of our text, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Step by Step was really just a whirlwind introduction to the whole concept of VB.NET. Although we coded programs and learned a lot about the Whatand Whyof VB.NET, we never really focused in on the Whereand How. Part II of the text is where we do that!

Another great thing about Part II (and Part III - which covers more advanced language and syntax rules) is that it can serve as a reference in the future. For example, if you need to refresh your memory about just exactly what a DIM statement is, this is where you can find it. Even experienced programmers sometimes need to read the definitions again to track down subtle misunderstandings and bugs.
