Taught by Associate Professor Jesse Heines, the class is an intermediate-level course that is an elective for computer science majors. Required reading for the course includes Guide to Visual Basic 4 for Windows 95 by Peter Norton, Harold Davis, and Phyllis Davis. The class begins by looking at Windows through the medium of the Microsoft Visual Basic programming system. To help students gain that understanding, Professor Heines devotes the first third of the class to Visual Basic. Most assignments are enhancements to the programs in David Kruglinski's book.
Students also submit a final project and present it to the class.
During that presentation, students describe the problems they ran into during program development and the techniques they used to deal with those problems. The overriding concern was to teach classes using tools that are standard in the industry. Jesse M. Heines, Ed. All rights reserved. This document is for informational purposes only.
