Visual Basic Tutorial - Introduction

Introduction

Until now, the tutorials at VB Web have focused on specific topics and points, and complete beginners could easily be overwhelmed. This tutorial is aimed directly at beginners. I will explain what VB is, where you can get it from, and get you started making your first VB program.

Just one warning - you are going to be blasted with tonnes of new words to learn. But don't worry... even if you don't remember them now, you will soon become very familiar with them, and use them throughout your Visual Basic programming career! To make this easier, important words are in bold. These words will be used throughout the site, and probably throughout every other Visual Basic sites.

Hopefully by the end of this tutorial, you will be in a better position to understand just what the tutorials at VB Web and other sites are going on about!

James first started writing tutorials on Visual Basic in 1999 whilst starting this website (then known as VB Web). Since then, the site has grown rapidly, and James has written numerous tutorials, articles and reviews on VB, PHP, ASP and C#. In October 2003, James formed the company Developer Fusion Ltd, which owns this website, and also offers various development services. In his spare time, he's a 3rd year undergraduate studying Computer Science in the UK. He's also a Visual Basic MVP.

    You may not be able to comile your code into an executable that would be portable, but your code can be copied into notepad files and kept for later use/reuse.
