Visual Basic Programming Guide

Visual Basic (VB) is an event-driven programming language from Microsoft that enables users to create applications through a graphical user interface using drag-and-drop functionality. Developed by Alan Cooper, VB simplifies application development with a three-step approach: designing the interface, setting properties, and writing code. It is widely used in various fields including accounting, business, education, and medicine.

PROGRAMMING
What is VB or Visual Basic?
⮚ Visual Basic (VB) is an event-driven programming
language and environment from Microsoft that
provides a graphical user interface (GUI) which
allows programmers to modify code by simply
dragging and dropping objects and defining their
behavior and appearance.
⮚ VB is still one of the quickest and easiest ways to
create applications that rely on forms, selections,
and inputs.
⮚ Alan Cooper is best known as the
“Father of Visual Basic,” possibly the
most widely used visual programming
environment in the software industry.
⮚ The drag and drop design for creating
the user interface is derived from a
prototype form generator developed by
Alan Cooper and his company
called Tripod

⮚ Microsoft contracted with Cooper and


his associates to develop Tripod into a
programmable form system for
Windows 3.0.
