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.). Steve Jobs had worked with Wozniak in the past (together they designed the arcade game "Breakout" for Atari).  They pooled their financial resources together to have PC boards made, and on April 1st, 1976 they officially formed the Apple Computer Company.

The popularity and widespread use of BASIC with different types of computers brought further enhancements of the language, and eventually led to the GUI-based Visual Basic in tandem with the development of Microsoft Windows. Visual Basic made programming even easier for beginners and season programmers alike as it save considerable programming time by providing many ready-made components. Since then, Visual Basic has also evolved into many versions, until recently, Visual Basic 2008.  VB2008 is so far the most powerful version of Visual Basic. It is also a fully Object Oriented programming language. Best of all, Microsoft is offering VB2008 Express edition for free ! you can download it from  http://www.microsoft.com/express/vb/
