Visual Basic

And Game Development Graphics

Are you interested in learning a very powerful language that is also one of the quickest to learn? Are you interested in the field of game development? If so, then this course is for you.

Visual Basic is one of the most powerful programming languages available. Because it is relatively easy to learn, the instructor recommends it as a first course in computer science. The course provides a solid foundation in the language and covers topics such as arrays, strings, control statements, images, graphical user interfaces, graphics, and animations.

The course uses the latest edition of the language, version 9, introduced in late 2008.  This version is based on the concepts of object oriented programming and gives the user an option of developing either console or Windows applications. Both approaches are covered in the course and students are provided a free copy of the compiler for use at home.
