                               The main concern of this course is to teach Graphical User Interface, event-driven programming and object-oriented programming 
                               for Windows and Internet environments with a visual programming language. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Graphical 
                               User Interface, WPF Graphics and Multimedia, XML and XAML, Strings, and Database and Web Application development will 
                               also be introduced. 
                             Aims and Objectives 
                             This  course  aims  to  introduce  fundamentals  of  visual  programming  for  Windows  and  Internet  environments.  As  a  visual 
                             programming language, Visual Basic .Net will be used. A student who successfully fulfills the course requirements will learn basic 
                             Visual Basic Fundamentals and Object-Oriented Programming, Graphical User Interfaces, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) 
                             Graphical  User  Interface,  WPF  Graphics  and  Multimedia,  XML  and  XAML,  Strings,  and  Database  and  Web  Application

                               Attendance will be taken in every lecture.  
                     Exams:  
                               If you miss midterm exam, you must submit a written report to your instructor stating your excuse within 3 days of that 
                                examination in order to be able to enter makeup exam. 
                               If  you miss final exam, you must submit a written report to your instructor stating your excuse within 3 days of that 
                                examination in order to be able to enter makeup exam. 
                               If you miss both midterm and final exams and have a report for each, you will be able to enter makeup exam for the final 
                                exam. 
                               If you miss both midterm and final exams and do not enter makeup exam, you will get an “NG” grade.

                               If you attend at least 6 lab sessions, you will get full grade. If you attend 5 lab sessions, you will get 6.  
                               More than 2 MISSED LAB SESSIONS automatically results in a definite losing the overall lab session grade completely.  
                               There will be no makeup for the missed lab quiz. If you miss, you will get zero.
