Visual Basic is a programming language created by Microsoft. It shares many features with BASIC, which is a programming language designed to be easy to learn and use. Visual Basic can be used to create stand alone Windows applications, and Visual Basic.NET can be used to create cross-platform applications that run on the .NET framework. Visual Basic for Applications provides a way to automate applications like those in the Microsoft Office suite.
There are a number of Visual Basic editors available to create, debug and package Visual Basic applications. Applications like Word and Excel include their own Visual Basic editor, while IDEs like Visual Studio provide comprehensive environments in which to create Visual Basic applications.
This guide will introduce you to some of the Visual Basic editors that are available, and show you how they can be used to achieve some interesting results.
