Visual Basic course offered

November 18, 2003

CARROLLTON, GA - Would you like to be able to automate your computer software to perform certain tasks? The University of West Georgia Continuing Education Department can show you how through a new noncredit online course titled Introduction to Visual Basic.NET.

Currently the most widely used programming language and development tool for creating Windows applications, the Visual Basic.NET language is easy to learn and allows anyone to create applications for automating existing programs, such as the Microsoft Office suite of applications. Students will write programs in a fast-paced, fun and visual environment.

Jeffrey Kent, program instructor, has designed Introduction to Visual Basic.NET so that students with limited time may quickly and efficiently learn the basics in six weeks.

Kent says, “The answer (to effective instruction) is not teaching dry theory. Instead, the best way to learn programming is the obvious one, by writing programs.”

Introduction to Visual Basic.Net will be offered beginning on Dec. 10, and again on Jan. 21, 2004. For more information about this course or other noncredit courses offered by the UWG Department of Continuing Education, call 770-836-6611 or visit its web site at www.ed2go.com/uwg.
