Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET for Scientists and Engineers
Résumé
Visual Basic for Scientists begins with an overview of the Visual Basic development environment, its important characteristics, and how the environment can be manipulated to suit your needs. Next, a discussion of forms and their uses ensues followed by coverage of the Visual Basic controls, which are the most essential to scientific programming. The users will then learn how to put controls to work for them by making use of the different control events.
Once this introductory material has been covered, users will be introduced to the different data types that Visual Basic supports, with extra attention being paid to the various numerical data types and their uses. At this point the true heart and soul of the book begins, as readers gain insights into the various operators that can be used to manipulate these data types. An in depth look will be taken at numerical and logical operators and their order of operations will be clearly spelled out. Next, the different types of loop structures will be discussed and an explanation of the possible uses of each loop structure will be described. Following this, we will survey the different built in functions that are available in Visual Basic and learn how to use them in our own projects.
Now that a firm understanding of the crucial elements of the Visual Basic language has been established, methods for putting these principles together into a complete and polished program will be discussed. The basics of GUI design will be presented as well as some more sophisticated interface techniques that are useful in science, such as programming customized spreadsheets. The basic principles of mathematical modeling will covered in depth and the described principles will then be used to mathematically model a chemical plant.
The book will then present a brief introduction to the new, but rapidly growing, field of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is a powerful new concept in biology that takes advantage of the processing power of computers to help researchers make sense of the ever-growing wealth of molecular biological information. Finally, the book will examine the relevant aspects of the new .NET platform and will code a scientific web based application.
