I. Purpose and Objectives

This course is an introduction to computer programming, it will utilize Visual Basic 6.0 which provides the ability to read/process sequential and random files as well as databases (Access). VB 6.0 provides you with the ability to create printed reports, screens, Internet applications and multi-media applications. This is the 2nd part of a 2 semester class and we will concentrate on the basics of VB 6.0 using a mixture of lecture and labs with emphasis on Database design using Microsoft Access and systems design and programming with VB 6.0

As the instructor of this class, I pledge to conduct the class in an ethical manner: to be prepared, to be on time, to evaluate student work fairly, to treat all students with respect, to properly credit information, and to hold all students accountable to uniform ethical standards.
