what is it about visual basic?
It was made for beginner programmers. It is based around the simple concept of event driven programming, meaning you instruct the computer what to do when a person clicks a button or accesses your database. It is also used to track IP addresses using a GUI interface: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU Actually that's a joke, don't believe that last part.
Visual Basic (VB) is the third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft for its COM programming model. Visual Basic is relatively easy to learn and use. :)
It seriously sucks completely. Learn something powerful.
Visual Basic is a programing code written as close to spoke/written english language as you can get as opposed to c and c++ code that to the untrained eye would appear as gibberish, c and c++ advanced programers can actually write their own coding in both that only the code writer will understand... and yes visual basic is a often used a beginners or introduction to programing class because its code is written as close to english as you can get!! C and C++ first you would have to be taught the code and symbols before you could be taught to write and program in it...
