About Visual Basic
Visual Basic was created by Microsoft in 1991 to simplify the process of developing Windows applications. It evolved from earlier programming languages like BASIC and aimed to provide an easier way for programmers to create graphical user interfaces and event-driven programs.
Strengths of Visual Basic included its ease of use, rapid application development capabilities, and strong integration with the Windows operating system. Weaknesses included limited cross-platform support and performance issues compared to more modern languages. Competitors included C#, Java, and Python.
