Publisher's Description

Visual Basic is the most productive tool for rapidly creating a wide range of Windows, Web, Mobile, and Office applications built on the .NET Framework. It aids developers in writing their code through features like IntelliSense, Code Snippets, and AutoCorrect and in debugging their code with a debugger that allows developers to make changes to running code without stopping and restarting the process. The Visual Basic language is designed to be human readable and accessible to everyone from novice programmers to advanced system architects.

OS Req: Windows All is erroneous. This will only install with VB 2005, at least the Express version, already in place(yeah, doh!)--which requires xp sp2, 2k sp4, 2k3 sp1, & x64 versions.

In response to guti, Microsoft has all but discontinued support for pre-.NET versions of Visual Basic. If you're looking for information about VB 6, check out VBRun (the MS Visual Basic 6.0 Resource Center): http://msdn.microsoft.com/VBRun. I played around with this version a bit and didn't really see any significant advancements over VB.NET 2005. I personally recommend VB.NET 2005 Express Edition if anyone's interested in learning VB.

For a VB guy who jumps into the .NET world, the biggest learning curve is the .NET Framwwork and Object Oriented programming concept. The language itself is almost negligible. It's better to spend a an extra week to learn C# syntax which is much more concise than VB.

Is that language Visual Basic (like an enhaced 6 version), or Visual Basic .NET (such an improved Visual Basic .NET 2005)?
