From the Author
In Visual Basic 2005 for Dummies - a total rewrite from the previous version - I take you from design to finished program in Web, Windows and Class Libraries in a simple, straightforward fashion. Clarity is the hallmark of this book. My goal is to help you to become a better programmer, and as such the book is populated heavily with best practices and usable sample code. I strive to make every line of code in the book usable, not just a 'quick example', and every word is carefully thought out. As much time was spent designing this book as went into writing it, and I hope your software will be the same. If you have a question, send me an email, and I’ll get back with you.

As a graduate of Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Microsoft Certified Professional, Certified Internet Business Strategist, and Certified Internet Webmaster, I have developed over one hundred Web applications for startups and Fortune 500 companies alike.
I began my career in 1985 by helping my father (also named Bill) manage Apple IIe systems for the local library. Since then, I have built applications for the likes of Lucent Technologies, Bank One, the State of Ohio, Nationwide Insurance, and Sears, Roebuck and Co. I specialized in data-driven Web applications of all types, both public and private. Currently, I am the Senior Technology Consultant at Products of Innovative New Technology in Grove City, Ohio, a Microsoft Certified Partner.
