Visual Basic is a high-level programming language developed by Microsoft, designed for building Windows-based applications. It provides an integrated development environment (IDE) with a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows developers to create software by dragging and dropping elements, making it easier to write and manage code.
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.
