Visual Basic.NET Programming. Beginners Lesson 3. Output and Variables

This is the third in a series of computer science video tutorials for beginners, about programming with Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET) in Visual Studio. In this lesson, you will learn how to declare variables and assign values to them. A naming convention for variables is also recommended. You will learn how to output the contents of a string variable using either the MsgBox command or MessageBox.Show(). The use of the VB.NET concatenation operator to build output strings that include the contents of variables, and literal text, is also covered. The focus of this lesson is on the String variable; other variable data types are covered in the next video.
