Visual Basic

      Visual Basic is a high level programming language which was evolved from the earlier DOS version called BASIC.

     Visual Basic is a VISUAL and events driven Programming Language. These are the main divergence from the old BASIC. In BASIC, programming is done in a text-only environment and the program is executed sequentially.

     The codes look a lot like English Language. Different software companies produced different version of BASIC, such as Microsoft QBASIC, QUICKBASIC, GWBASIC ,IBM BASICA and so on. However, it seems people only use Microsoft Visual Basic today, as it is a well developed programming language and supporting resources are available everywhere.

     If you are in business, you can also create business programs such as inventory management system , point-of-sale system, payroll system, financial program as well as accounting program to help manage your business and increase productivity.

we have many smart programmers who wrote interpreters and compilers that can translate human language like programs such as BASIC into machine language so that the computer can carry out the instructions entered by the users.
