Easily Programme Visual Basic

 How Does Visual Basic Differ With Other Programing Languages

VISUAL BASIC is a high level programming language evolved from the earlier DOS version called BASIC. BASIC stands for "BEGINNER'S ALL PURPOSE SYMBOLIC INSTRUCTION CODE".

IT IS A PART OF MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO (FOLLOW LINK TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO)

It is among the easiest programming language to learn. Mostly following the English language like code it is best suited software for amateurs. Different software companies produced different version of BASIC, such as Microsoft QBASIC,GWBASIC,QUICKBASIC  etc. 

The Main difference between basic and Visual Basic is its ability to be visually designed and hence saves hundreds of pages of codes that otherwise should have been written in other programming languages. In BASIC, programming is done in a text-only environment and the program is executed sequentially. In VISUAL BASIC, programming is done in a graphical environment. Because  users 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 Program written in VISUAL BASIC  is made up of many subprograms. Each of them  have there  own codes, and can be executed independently. Also at the same time each can be linked together in one way or another.

•  The Visual Basic Environment

To start Visual Basic you can either Double click the Visual Basic Icon on the desktop or go to " START >  PROGRAMS > MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO" & open Visual Basic.

 

 

You can choose to start a new project, open an existing project or select a list of recently opened programs. A project is a collection of files [ like dll files (or dynamic linking libraries) , other components and references ] that make up your application. There are various types of applications we could create like standard EXE Programs, Activex EXE, DHTML Application etc. Lets start with Standard EXE programs (EXE means executable program). Now, click on the Standard EXE icon & hit enter to start over with some programming.
