Visual Basic is an Object Oriented Programming Language developed by Microsoft to accompany their Windows operating systems.
History
Microsoft first released Visual Basic in 1987. It was the first visual development tool from Microsoft, and it was to compete with C, C++, Pascal and other well-known programming languages. From the start, Visual Basic wasn't a hit. It wasn't until release 2.0 that people really discovered the potential of the language, and with release 3.0 it had become the fastest-growing programming language on the market.
Below is the order and the approximate year in which a new version of Visual Basic was released:
1991, VB1 Debuts 1992, VB2 Debuts 1993, VB3 Debut 1996, VB4 Debuts 1997, VB5 Debuts 1998, VB6 Debuts 2001, VB. NET Debuts
