Visual Basic I

Visual Basic 1.0 revolutionized Windows development by lowering the barrier to
entry and making a broad audience of developers more productive than ever.
Building on this rich history, Visual Basic .NET offers task-oriented
programmers a human readable syntax, an intuitive user interface, and tools
and upgrade wizards that speed the development of Microsoft .NET-connected
applications. Visual Basic .NET takes advantage of the ease of development
espoused by its exceedingly popular predecessors, while adding new
capabilities that enable all manner of programmers, from the beginner to the
experienced corporate developer, to build applications for Windows, the Web,
and mobile devices.
