Visual Basic

This tutorial is geared to teach individuals who are brand new to Visual Basic and want to create their first program in the language. The tutorial will cover proper naming styles, transferring information to a label, creating the code to execute the program on a button click, creating shortcuts, commenting, managing the tab order, and exiting an application. Visual Basic (VB) is a very powerful language, that makes creating programs quick and simple. VB has a GUI interface that allows the user to drag and drop tools that they want to use, such as a textbox, or label. A major advantage is that this saves a lot of time, in C++ or other languages you would need to hard code a date-time picker, yet VB provides that for you with customizable options and presents it in a pleasant way. Another great feature is that VB recognizes where you have placed other items and can automatically align your next item with previous ones.
