This unique series features 23 lessons, each lesson containing a workbook chapter with questions, exercises, further readings and one or more videos that step an absolute beginner through learning the most fundamental Visual Basic.NET topic matter. If you have never programmed before and want to learn Visual Basic.NET, this is a great place to start.
Anatomy of The Curriculum
Each of the "First Time Programmers" series contains two workbooks, a Questions edition and an Answers edition, which is identical to the Questions edition but contains the answers to all the questions in blue text.
Each lesson has one or more parts, as follows:
Lesson Objectives - Easily identify what the goals of the lesson are.
Lesson Text- Typically a few pages explaining the concepts for the lesson. The readings are concise and focus on concepts and ideas that are appropriate for the level you are at. The lessons avoid introducing unused or comple
Videos to Watch- Most lessons contain a video that demonstrates the concepts of the lesson. This is a powerful way to learn because its like watching over the shoulder of an expert while he "shows you the ropes."
Source Code - All source code that is created in the video is available for you to inspect on your own.
Extended Readings - These are links to parts of the Microsoft Developer's Network that are important for you to know. These readings extend the Lesson Text and often get into much more detail.
Definitions- While you are reading through the Lesson Text and the Extended Readings, you will come across many new terms that you should make sure you know.
Lesson Questions - Each lesson will have a number of review questions that re-inforce your new-found knowledge and force you to put it into your own words.
Best Practices - Most of the videos make recommendations that are considered "Best Practices" -- approaches that are tried and true. When available the workbook contains an area to record these Best Practices.
Exercises- Most lessons have a project for you to work on that covers concepts introduced in the readings and the video. The exercise requires you to open Visual Studio.NET and get your hands dirty. If you get stuck, you can watch a video that shows how we would have solved that exercise, including the source code.
The following videos are available for this series:
BEGIN1 - Orientation
Orientation video for this series ... please take the time to watch this first.
Loading Source Code for the BEGIN1 Series
This video explains how to unzip, open and review the source code contained in the
BEGIN1_Code.zip file.
Source Code for BEGIN1 Series
This file contains the source code that was used in the videos in the BEGIN1 series and can be used to follow along in your own local copy of Visual Studio.NET. For instructions on how to open the source code projects, please download and watch BEGIN1_LoadingSourceCode.zip.

Lesson 12 - Object Oriented Programming with Classes
Object Oriented Programming seeks to reduce the complexity of creating large applications by breaking the application down into smaller, manageable classes of code. Each class represents and idea, whether tanglible and concreate (such as a Product or Employee) or conceptual (such as Inventory or Order). This lesson explains how classes are created and how they are used in Visual Basic.NET. THIS FILE IS JUST A PLACEHOLDER - NO VIDEO IS NECESSARY FOR THIS LESSON.
