Foolish Assumptions: Stuff You Type Menu Commands
Foolish Assumptions: Stuff You Type Menu Commands
Youll get the most out of this book if you already know how to use basic programming constructs, such as for loops and if...then statements. Even though this book doesnt teach you how to program, it does share guidance and tips on the use of best practices. Even if youve never programmed, you can still use the examples in this book to start creating basic Windows and Web applications using Visual Studio 2010. Here are some other assumptions this book makes about you: You have little or no experience with object-oriented programming (OOP). Becoming an OOP whiz takes many years of hands-on practice. This book can help lay the groundwork for your OOP training and show you the OOP features in Visual Studio 2010. Book III introduces you to OOP. You have little or no experience in using Visual Studio or the .NET Framework. If you have plenty of experience with Visual Studio or the .NET Framework, you can reuse that knowledge with this version of Visual Studio. Either way, you are walked through all the examples, step by step. You dont have formal training in computer science. This book offers technical explanations of what Visual Studio is doing behind the scenes when its relevant to helping you understand the topic.
This book uses a helpful set of conventions to indicate what needs to be done or what you see on-screen. When you are asked to type something, like a command or an entry in a text box, the text looks like this:
Type me
Menu commands
When you are given a specific set of menu commands to use, they appear in this format: File New Web Site
In this example, you should click the File menu, choose the New menu item, and then choose the Web Site menu item.
