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, IBM BASIC and so on. However, people
prefer to use Microsoft Visual Basic today, as it is a well developed programming
language as supporting resources are available everywhere. Now, there are many versions
of VB exist in the market, the most popular one and widely used by many VB programmers
is none other than Visual Basic 6. We also have VB.net fully supported with object
oriented language (OOP).
