What to read after MYSQL with Visual Basic and Visual C#?

Book 1:

This book aims to develop a MySQL-driven desktop application that readers can develop for their own purposes to implement library project using Visual Basic .NET.

In Tutorial 1, you will build a Visual Basic interface for the database. This interface will used as the main terminal in accessing other forms. This tutorial will also discuss how to create login form and login table. You will create login form. Place on the form one picture box, two labels, one combo box, one text box, and two buttons.

In Tutorial 2, you will build a school inventory project where you can store information about valuables in school. The table will have nine fields: Item (description of the item), Quantity, Location (where the item was placed), Shop (where the item was purchased), DatePurchased (when the item was purchased), Cost (how much the item cost), SerialNumber (serial number of the item), PhotoFile (path of the photo file of the item), and Fragile (indicates whether a particular item is fragile or not).

In Tutorial 3, you will perform the steps necessary to add 5 new tables using phpMyAdmin into Academy database. You will build each table and add the associated fields as needed. Every table in the database will need input form. In this tutorial, you will build such a form for Author table. Although this table is quite simple (only four fields: AuthorID, Name, BirthDate, and PhotoFile), it provides a basis for illustrating the many steps in interface design. SQL statement is required by the Command object to read fields (sorted by Name). Then, you will build an interface so that the user can maintain the Publisher table in the database (Academy). The Publisher table interface is more or less the same as Author table interface. This Publisher table interface only requires more input fields. So you will use the interface for the Author table and modify it for the Publisher table.

Book 2:

In chapter one, you will learn to know the properties and events of each control in a Windows Visual C# application. You need to learn and know in order to be more familiar when applying them to some applications in this book.

In chapter two, you will go through step by step to build a SALES database using MySQL. You will build each table and add associated data fields (along with the necessary keys and indexes). The first field in the Client table is ClientID. Enter the clien ID in the Name Field and select AutoNumber in the Data Type. You define primary key and other indexes which are useful for quick searching. ClientID is a primary field. You will define FamilyName as an index. You then will create Ordering table with three fields: OrderID, ClientID, and OrderDate. You then will create Purchase table with three fields: OrderID, ProductID, and Quantity. And you will create Product table with four fields: ProductID, Description, Price, and QtySold. Before designing Visual C# interface, you will build the relationships between four tables. The interface will be used to enter new orders into the database. The order form will be used to enter the following information into the database: order ID, order date, client ID, client’s first name and family name, client’s address, product information ordered. The form will have the ability to add new orders, find clients, add new clients. The completed order invoice will be provided in a printed report.

In chapter three, you will build a database management system where you can store information about valuables in your warehouse. The table will have seven fields: Item (description of the item), Location (where the item was placed), Shop (where the item was purchased), DatePurchased (when the item was purchased), Cost (how much the item cost), SerialNumber (serial number of the item), PhotoFile (path of the photo file of the item), and Fragile (indicates whether a particular item is fragile or not). The development of this Warehouse Inventory Project will be performed, as usual, in a step-by-step manner. You will first create the database. Furthermore, the interface will be built so that the user can view, edit, add, or add data records from the database. Finally, you add code to create a printable list of information from the database.

In chapter four, you will build an application that can be used to track daily high and low pollutant PM2.5 and air quality level. The steps that need to be taken in building Siantar Air Quality Index (SAQI) database project are: Build and test a Visual C# interface; Create an empty database using code; and Report database. The designed interface will allow the user to enter max pollutant, min pollutant, and air quality for any date that the user chooses in a particular year. This information will be stored in a database. Graphical result of the data will be provided, along with summary information relating to the maximum value, minimum value, and mean value. You will use a tab control as the main component of the interface. The control has three tabs: one for viewing and editing data, one for viewing graph of pollutant data, and another for viewing graph of air quality data. Each tab on this control operates like a Visual C# control panel.

In chapter five, you will perform the steps necessary to build a MySQL book inventory database that contains 4 tables. You will build each table and add the associated fields as needed. You will have four tables in the database and define the relationship between the primary key and foreign key. You will associate AuthorID (foreign key) field in the Title_Author table with AuthorID (primary key) in the Author table. Then, you want to associate the ISBN (foreign key) field in Title_Author table with ISBN (primary key) in the Title table.
