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 very 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, and 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, VB2005, VB2008 and the latest VB2010. Both Vb2008 and VB2010 are fully object oriented
programming (OOP) language.
VISUAL BASIC is a VISUAL and events driven Programming Language. These are the main divergence from
the old BASIC. In BASIC, programming is done in a text-only environment and the program is executed
sequentially. In VB, programming is done in a graphical environment. In the old BASIC, you have to write
program code for each graphical object you wish to display it on screen, including its position and its color.
However, In VB, you just need to drag and drop any graphical object anywhere on the form, and you can
change its color any time using the properties windows.
On the other hand, because the user may click on a certain object randomly, so each object has to be
programmed independently to be able to response to those actions (events). Therefore, a VB Program is made
up of many subprograms, each has its own program code, and each can be executed independently and at the
same time each can be linked together in one way or another.
