Good Book For Learning About Interfaces / Abstraction
Feb 28, 2011In my applications I use objects and classes, but when reading SO topics, I have the idea I don't use real OOP principles. For example, I never use inheritance or interfaces. Therefore, I am trying to learn proper OOP (in VB.NET), but I find some concepts quite hard to understand (even after reading a lot about the subjects on SO).So I'm trying to find a book or resource with good practical real-world examples. For instance, I kind of understand examples like using an interface for both Dog and Cat classes when using a EatFood method, but I find it hard to relate it to real-world cases.Ideally these books or resources should cover explanations about:
- when and why to use inheritance or interfaces or abstract classes
- when and why to use private, public, protected, virtual etc.
- best practices in dependency injection /inversion of control
- when to use aspect oriented programming
- using of constructors
- solid principles
- singletons
- encapsulation
Perhaps it's a mix of all kinds of concepts, but I think these are all related to OOP, please correct me if I'm wrong.I would prefer a book/resource with VB.NET examples, but this might be difficult?

Good Program Book For Hardware Test Engineer?
Nov 3, 2009I am a EE graduate from about a year and a half ago working in the semiconductor industry as a hardware/test engineer. I wan't to learn VB to do lab level data test and acquisition. I am learning this in my free time at work and home, and I would be using VB to talk with different electronic equipment through GBIP to source, measure, and record data. Anyone have any good ideas of a good book for such applications?? I know there are a ton of books and courses out there, but 99.9% of that information is not going to be needed for my industry application. I also took a few C classes in college, and I have some experience with labview so I am not a total noob to programming. So if anyone has a good book, or refferences that would be really appreciated.Also what version of VB would you recomend me learning?

A "good" Way To Pause My Program?

Learning C# Or VB For A PHP Programmer
Jan 21, 2011For a few years I developed websites in PHP, but couldn't get a job doing this nearly two years ago. I spent a year teaching (and if your thinking of teaching, my advice is don't! In the UK anyway), but kept handing my CV out to different web development companies. One of these offered me a job, but the downside (or upside, depending on your views) that they only developed websites in ASP.NET. I made the decision for a career change and accepted the job.
In ASP.NET, you can develop in either C# or VB.NET. The guys I work with are using VB.NET, and I have to say I'm struggling with it. I can understand the basics but it just seems weird, especially as I've come from PHP. C# on the other hand, looks similar to PHP. I'm contemplating learning C# instead of VB, but I'd like to know what other peoples opinions are about doing this?

Is It Better To Start Learning C# Or C++ In .NET World
Mar 25, 2011I have some very rusty C++ and lots of C experience, but have done little OO design or coding.I've started learning C++.NET as that seemed to be the best starting point.I've hit restrictions in Microsoft's provision with multiple inheritance and extensions, neither work in C++.Would I be better off starting again with C#, or am I better off using a mixed language approach. eg. extensions in C#, rest in C++?I'm still struggling with this->method or that.property and theother::staticthingy or whatever, and this probably is not an issue in C#. You'll see what I mean as that probably isn't the right way to desribe the difference between '->' '.' and '::'I'm getting to achieve what I want, but it's taking me 10 times longer than I think it should.

View 3 RepliesLearning Visual Basic For C Programmer?
Dec 13, 2010I've been programming in C/C++ for several years and want to learn enough Visual Basic to create GUI front ends for some of my C programs & also so I know that C functions I have written can be called by VB programs that others write. I expect that the C programs would have to be turned into DLLs for this to work.
I have created some C DLLs & created other C programs that sucessfully call the functions in the DLLs. BTW I did this with Visual Studio 2010, would there be any advantages to using other versions?Can anyone recommend a book or a website to quickly get me up to speed on VB while allowing me to skip over the parts that are intended for people who are new to programming?
Many of my programs call functions from the Windows API such as CreateFile. IINM these functions can be called from VB, but it is done differently than in Visual C++, eg: in C++ Create file returns a HANDLE variable, but the HANDLE variable type doesn't exist in Visual Basic. So I'll need to learn enough about how Visual Basic uses the Windows API to pass the file HANDLE from the C functions to the VB calling program & back.
