Visual studio was the first programming suite that I am aware of. I'm sure somebody did it first and others were in writing when Visual studio came out. The concept was to include a full programmers platform into one application. That way you could write code in multiple languages, work with databases and check help references all from the same editor. \n\nThe result was basically an editor that was not real well suited to any of the langues. The VB editor was tossed in and never really integrated with Visual Studio. The C++ editor was a major downgrade from the previous C++ editor in my opinion and J++ was a flop that nobody used in the real world. \n\nOther changes were made which added unecessary dependancies to projects and hindered development. The database explorer was buggy, had little support for anything but SQL Server and nobody really used it. So what it became was really the new VC++ IDE as most VB and Foxpro programmers skipped the rest of the installation and only installed the editor for languages they actually used. \n\nThe Visual studio concept saw real integration when it became .net as all of the languages are almost the same language now. I guess that was one way to solve the language learning curve. That is make EVERYBODY learn a new one :) \n\nWhat it is used for today is writing apps that run only on the newest Microsoft operating systems. You cannot write software which competes with major Microsoft products either. Visual studio itself is no longer supported. .net studio I think is what they call the new one.\n\nVisual Basic is a programming language. Probably the most popular during it's heyday. It was one of the first visual stateless languages. The syntax supported core Basic syntax but added a GUI builder on top of this and support for windows programming. It was still an interpeted language. To run VB executables you had to distribute a run time lib with it. Today it is unsupported. I suggest using Gambas instead. It is far closer to VB than .net VB is.

google "visual basic user group", "visual basic resource" \n\nu can also use www.asp.net It's a Very Good Site For Microsoft Products. \nhttp://www.codeproject.com/ \n\nThe best site available is www.vbcode.com\nand www.devx.com\nwww.programmersheaven.com\nwww.p2p.com\nwww.dev2dev.com\nwww.planetsourcecode.com\n\nVisual Studio 2005 contains many code snippets for VB.NET. \n\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/\n\n\nBy the developers of visual studio themselves:\n\nhttp://www.gotdotnet.com

C++ is a popular language used to do alot of difficult stuff. You can use it to program for different operating systems.\n\nJava is more of an open language, which will allow you to program for different platformas but more for a web based enviroment. few desktop applications are written with Java.\n\nVisual basic is also a great langauge. It's not as powerful as c++, but it's easy to build application with. It is used for rapid application development. Visual basics IDE's were written using c++ as well as the core of the windows operating system. Some of the smaller programs in windows are written in Visual basic (VB). dont waste your time with VB unless you are a beginner it spoils you rotten its so basic. Start with VB.Net. programs written with visual basic only work on windows. \n\nif by basic you mean Basic and not visual basic, then all i can say is: Basic is basic , i don't know of anyone using basic. I think basic was succeeded by other better languages like C. basic stands for something but i can't remember . \n\nPascal, I think is like C but I am not familiar with it. I think it was succeeded by Delphi.\n\nAnd yes unix is a very powerful operating system used on some servers.

Check out the site at http://www.pscode.com - I don't do C++ but I use that site all the time for Visual BASIC stuff I work on.

You could try Visual Basic.NET.  It comes with a very powerful IDE (the development environment) which helps you focus on the programming.  The help system is incredibly useful.\n\nYou don't even have to purchase Visual Studio.NET (the name of the IDE), but you can download an Express version for free.\n\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/\n\nThis will tell you if you are cut out to be a programmer or not.  Visual Basic (not just .NET, but 6 as well) is used widely in industry, mostly because it is a good mesh of ease of use and power.  You won't find an easier environment to program in. \n\nJava is also highly recommended for beginners, but it sounds a bit out of your league if you don't want to be messing with text file editors (although there are some good Java IDEs around).

Visual Studio.NET or one of the free "express" developers such as Visual C# Express.  Visual Studio costs money but the express IDE's are free.

It is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), basically a text editor and compilers for various programming languages (i.e. C#, Visual Basic, C++, erc).  The IDE makes development quicker than compiling by hand (command line) by having everything together including help and all sorts of tools

Here is a free version from Microsoft. It is not the full blown version, but does most everything.\n\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/\n\nThis will get the beginner started.

The MSDN 2003 library is specifically for Visual Studio .NET (2003).  It does NOT contain any references to VB6.  By this time, VB6 was replaced by VB.NET, and so all of the documentation is for the new language.\n\nThe good news is that you can install several different versions of Visual Studio and MSDN (Visual Studio 6 (VB6) + MSDN1999 and Visual Studio 2003 + MSDN 2003, or 2005 as well).  They co-exist well and don't have any overlap problems.\n\nIf you want VB6 documentation, you will either need to find you MSDN1999 CD and install it, or you'll have to look online.\n\nHere is a link:\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnanchor/html/vb6anchor.asp

i think it depends on the IDE u r working on\nform VB 2 C++ 2 C#\nwat exaclty the programming language u wanna use

Those mentioned above (Visual studio) are fine but for beginning I'd recommend something smaller and simpler... try devC++... it's free and can be found at bloodshed.net...\n\nthen (just to keep the tradition) write something like this:\n#include<stdio.h>\nmain()\n{\nprintf("Hello World&#92;n");\ngetchar();\n}\nThen hit f9 to save the file, compile it and run...

Visual Basic .NET 2005 (also known as VB 8.0)is the latest version of Visual Basic.

.NET is a technology thats a part of all Microsoft products since 2000.\n\n.NET also commonly refers to the programming languages. Using  these programming languages, you can develop applications for .NET platform.\n\nSome examples: VB.NET, C#.NET, ASP.NET are a few examples.

Well for an official and thorough comparison between Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic .net refer http://www.microsoft.com/learning/syllabi/en-us/2562bfinal.mspx\n\nCoz let me tell you will find wat you are looking for and which we all also won't be able to tell you.

VB6 uses the Windows Libraries through COM, VB.NET, even though has the same VB syntax, it uses the .NET framework.\n\nVB6 requires a VB6 compiler and it is used to make Windows Programs, I think you are referring to VBS (Visual Basic Script) which is a scripting language, it can be used with ASP to make server scripts, VBS is comparable to JavaScript, only that VBS only works in Internet Explorer.\n\nScripting Languages like VBS and JavaScript do not require a compiler, the script is interpreted by the Internet Browser.\n\nHTML is a Markup language, which is used to create the basic web-page, JavaScript or VBS are used to enhance HTML, as well as CSS (Cascade Styling Sheets), ASP, ASP.NET and PHP are server scripts, ASP uses VBS, ASP.NET uses VB.NET or C# and PHP is PHP's own language.\n\nTo learn more about all web stuff search for W3C, they have all kinds of tutorials up to today's standards.
