Lose the voodoo and hidden landmines in your code! Why use programming standards? The same attributes that make the Visual Basic® development system exceptionally productive and easy to use can also inadvertently lead to sloppy programming. Whether you’re writing just a few lines of code or you’re part of a team building a full-scale e-commerce application, using standardized techniques can help you exploit the power of rapid development—without creating hidden land mines in performance and maintainability. In PRACTICAL STANDARDS FOR MICROSOFT® VISUAL BASIC, you’ll learn proven practices that help you: • Make code more reliable by eliminating magic numbers and “voodoo” variables • Better manage the output of developers working on a team • Develop an interface that helps users get productive faster • Use effective comments and self-documenting code to create an essential blueprint of your application • Build flexible error handlers to create more resilient programs • Write robust exit code—for fewer errors and easier debugging • Simplify making planned—and unplanned—modifications to code Each chapter tackles common programming pitfalls, using illustrative code samples—many from real-world commercial projects—to demonstrate practical solutions. Whether you’re a professional or recreational developer, working alone or in concert, PRACTICAL STANDARDS FOR MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC shows you how using standards can help you program just about any process—with better, more reliable code!
