This shows you some best practices to keep in mind as you get further along in your programming. Your first programs may be very simple, but when you start getting into more complicated applications, you really need to plan out your program before you start writing the code.
Previous versions of Visual Basic were complete development environments. The latest version of Visual Basic is really only one part of a three-part programming strategy:

• A language: For this book, it is Visual Basic 2005. Other popular languages include C#, J#, Perl, and 24 others.
• An Integrated Development Environment (IDE): For this book, it is Visual Studio 2005. Other IDEs include Borland, Macromedia, and several other tools.
• A project: In this book, I cover four types of projects: Windows Forms, Web Forms, class libraries, and XML Web services. You can also use VB to build Web services, console applications, Smart Device applications, Mobile Web Forms, and many other project types.
