Students will establish a foundation for programming with Visual Basic by deriving the physical design, establishing development environments, and creating user services for Visual Basic applications.  Students use real-world examples to solve programming  problems using foundational classes, methods, inheritance, structures, controls, & code.  Visual Studio 2005 will be the current software used.  The course will build upon the structures and design principals developed in CPD 122. This is the prerequisite course for CPD 228.  The prerequisite for this course is CPD 122.
