Visual Basic
VISUAL BASIC is a high level programming language which evolved from the earlier DOS version called BASIC. BASIC means Beginners'
All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It
is a relatively easy programming language to learn. The code looks a
lot like English Language. Different software companies produced
different versions of BASIC, such as Microsoft QBASIC, QUICKBASIC,
GWBASIC ,IBM BASICA and so on. However, people prefer to use Microsoft
Visual Basic today, as it is a well developed programming language and
supporting resources are available everywhere.
Now, there are many versions of VB exist in the market, the most
popular one and still widely used by many VB programmers is none other
than Visual Basic 6
. We also have VB.net, Visual Basic 2005, Visual Basic 2008
and the latest Visual Basic 2010
. Both Vb2008 and VB2010 are fully object oriented programming (OOP) languages.
