All the Visual Basic algorithms you'll ever need and how to use them This book/CD package arms you with a library of powerful algorithms completely implemented in Visual Basic source code. Just as importantly, it shows you how, when, and where to use them ...or not to use them. It covers classic VB algorithms as well as the latest VB object-oriented techniques for handling just about any design requirement you'll encounter, such as managing data structures, sorting, searching, hashing, networking, and other important program functions. In plain English, and with the help of sample code and scads of working examples, VB expert Rod Stephens explains how algorithms work and: Describes techniques for selecting the best ones for your projects Tutors you in methods for analyzing how they will perform in your programs Acquaints you with programming techniques for solving problems as they arise Supplies algorithms for most programming situations Covers new object-oriented VB algorithms-how they work and how to use them Introduces new concepts and techniques for programming in multiple versions of VB.
The CD-ROM supplies you with: Source code for all the algorithms described Test programs to try them out Examples and tests to help you gauge and fine-tune your skills. Visit our website at www wiley.com/compbooks/ Visit the author's comprehensive Visual Basic site at:.www vb-helper.com

The real strength of this book is it takes you back to thinking about data structures and common computing algorithms - an issue often raised at university but rarely in a Visual Basic course. Linked lists, arrays, trees, search algorithms etc etc are all key computer science concepts - and it is great to see VB being using to implement them, as Rod does in this book. Nonetheless, there are weaknesses. I was particularly looking forward to his section on Singletons (in chapter 13), but Rod gave a very basic (and inaccurate) solution, failing to take into account the implications of using such a solution when deploying ActiveX components. But apart from that - a great read, much recommended.
