Visual Basic

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

Tutorial

to be honest with you, I really suggest just exploring the 'help' search thing in Express Edition, aswell as depending mostly on the object orientation (as opposed to the raw code). its easier to learn it from the internal tools than from an external tutorial.

In the meantime, ive been trying to find a good tutorial for you guys so I dont have to write one myself, but it doesnt look like there are any great ones out there. Ill post it here when i find one
