This course provides students with the skills and knowledge to plan, enter, refine, and debug programs that solve typical business problems. The finished programs are compiled and packaged into stand-alone applications, which are then installed on personal computers for use by office workers who may have minimal computer skills. Although Visual Basic is used exclusively in the course, as students build complete, real-life, multiple-form applications, they learn fundamental programming concepts and techniques used in all programming languages. This is an introductory course and as such assumes no prior programming experience.
