*** 2) VB Learn 8/18/2003 Meeting Announcement - Box Tattersol on OOP
******************************************************************************
***********
Introduction to Object Oriented Development in VB.NET with Bob Tattersall The
.NET version of Visual Basic is a fully capable Object Oriented Language.
Visual Basic programmers moving to .NET need to undestand Object Oriented
development techniques before being able to fully take advantage of these OO
features. The presentation will define basic OO terms, for example: what are a class,
object, constructor, overloaded method, and overriden method; what are
polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation. It will then look at basic design
considerations, for example: how to recognize ojects, methods, and properties in a
problem statement; "is-a" relationships; and scoping. A non-trivial VB.NET
coding example will put all these definitions and design considerations to work.
Our Speaker: Mr. Tattersall has more than 20 years of development experience
using a variety of languages, including VB and C++. He attended Northeastern
University and completed a BSCS at Daniel Webster College in Nashua NH. Before
entering consulting he most recently held positions as Sr. Software Engineer at
BrassRing and Compaq, and Technical Project Leader at Compaq. Since working
with C++ he has had a keen interest in Object Oriented development and has been
putting it to use with VB.NET for about a year. Mr. Tattersall can be reached
at rtatt@comca
