About Visual Basic Visual basic evolved from BASIC(Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). The BASIC language was created by Professors John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz of Dartmouth College in the mid 1960s(Deitel&Deitel, 1999) . It is a carefully constructed English-Like language basically used by the programmers to write simple computer programs. It served the purpose of educating laymen like we all the basic concepts of programming. From then on many versions of BASIC were developed to accommodate different computer platforms. Some of the versions are Microsoft QBASIC, QUICKBASIC, GWBASIC ,IBM BASICA, Apple BASIC and etc. Apple BASIC was developed by Steve Wozniak, a former employee of Hewlett-Packard and a good friend of steve Jobs(the founded of Apple Inc.).
