This tutorial is based around Visual Basic 6.0, but changes in VB.Net are highlighted where applicable. Visual Basic makes it easy to create simple or complex Windows programs, through a range of different project types.

Visual Basic falls into a category of programming referred to as event-driven programming. Event-driven programs respond to events from the computer, such as the mouse button being pressed. The designer uses ready-made objects such as CommandButtons and TextBoxes, to build user interfaces that make up the application. This approach to programming drastically reduces the amount of code required to develop a Windows application.

Beginning Visual Basic introduces the world of computer programming by providing an interactive, self-paced
tutorial to the Visual Basic programming language and environment. The approach to a Visual Basic
application are explained in step-by-step, simple, easy-to-follow terms. Ten plain-English lessons explain
the toolbox, event procedures, and many elements of the BASIC computer language. Numerous examples
are used to demonstrate every step in the application building process. The
tutorial also includes several computer projects for you to build and try. These projects illustrate practical
applications of Visual Basic, including loan calculators, graphics programs, and even a simple video game!
Beginning Visual Basic is presented using a combination of over 400 pages of course notes (written in
Microsoft Word format) and many Visual Basic examples and projects. The tutorial also includes several
computer projects for you to build and try. These projects illustrate practical applications of Visual Basic,
including loan calculators, graphics programs, and even a simple video game. (499 KB)
