it is a nice tool. But, I think VC++ is more widely used.

Visual Basic is an easy to learn language and info can be found on Microsoft's msdn site.^1\nIf you choose C++ (and I recommend it) then you should not have to worry about learning C, most the topics in C you'd learn in C++ and if you need to learn C later then it should not be a problem.\nMy favorite language is Pascal.^2 It's not that common a language anymore, but its got all the features of C++ and much easier to learn.\nThefreecountry.com^3 has links to just about anything programming related, and if you're looking for books the best I've seen is the "How to program" series from Deitel.^4

Professional VB.NET, 2nd Edition \nBy.. Wrox Publishers\n\nBook Description\nWritten and tested for the final release of .NET v1.0, this book explains the underlying philosophy and design of the .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime, and details the differences between Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic .NET.\n\nVB.NET is covered virtually from start to finish: beginning with an overview of the .NET Framework, and ending with best practices for deploying .NET applications. In between, everything from database access to integration with other technologies such as XML is covered. Each of these new features are investigated in detail. You will see that VB.NET has emerged as a powerful yet easy to use language that allows developers to target the Internet just as easily as the desktop.\n\nYou will learn how to:\n\n- Develop applications and components using Visual Studio .NET\n- Effectively apply inheritance and interfaces when designing objects and components\n- Organize your code using namespaces\n- Handle errors using the Try...Catch...Finally structure\n- Access data using ADO.NET and bind controls to the underlying data sources\n- Create Windows applications and custom Windows controls\n- Interoperate with COM and ActiveX components\n- Create transactional and queuing components\n- Use .NET Remoting to exchange serialized objects between clients and servers\n- Create Windows Services\n- Use Visual Basic .NET to access information on the Web\n- Create and consume Web Services\n- Secure your applications and code using the tools provided in the .NET Framework SDK\n- Arrange your applications and libraries in assemblies and deploy them using Visual Studio .NET\n\nFrom the Publisher\nThis book is primarily aimed at experienced Visual Basic developers who are looking for an introduction to Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Framework.

Visual Basic (VB) is an event driven programming language and associated development environment created by Microsoft. In business programming, it has one of the largest user bases.\n\nIt is derived heavily from BASIC and enables rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using DAO, RDO, or ADO, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects. A programmer can put together an application using the components provided with Visual Basic itself.\n\nMore info at article linked below.

I dont know that VB works on macs, being a microsoft language and all, but for C++, just search for a c++ mac IDE. Might want to learn java these days though, much easier than C++.

Manish it hardly matters if you choose either of them. Finally the code is compiled into IL which is the intermediatory language. If you are comfortable with VB U go for VB.NET if your background is C/C++ go for C#.NET. My personal opinion is VB.NET is much easier to work with.

There are plenty , a good google search will pull all of them up but just to name a few for now ( I will post back later with more )\n\nwww.cplusplus.com ( they have a tutorial on c++ obviously )\n\nif you do a search on google for bruce eckel - he is a very good programmer and he has pdf tutorials with source code on java and c++\n\nAs for visual basic ( depends which version of vb are you talking about ) If it is vb 6 then take a look at these :\n\nvbnet.mvps.org\n\nvb-helper.com\n\nallapi.net\n\nAnyway that should help you out some what :)

I learnt VB 6 years ago by reading Visual Basic 6 for Dummies\nby Wallace Wang. The book is very good for beginners.\n\nHere is another good site: http://www.profsr.com/vb/vbless04.htm

Get a For Dummies book or Idiot's Guide To book.\n\nOnce you're ready to program, get Visual Basic from Microsoft.

Visual basic is a programming language, which is used to create satanalone or network-based applications. It works on action-driven concepts.

"the difference is obvious" as quoted from microsoft itself.\n\nVisual Basic .NET is in no way a sucessor of Visual Basic 6, its a completely new language that is named by Microsoft as Visual Basic, which is completely stupid as these makes confusion. (This is actually true, since VB.NET is not build on top of VB6, it's almost made from scratch)\n\nVB.NET is actually out of the road of Visual Basic, it doesn't have, in any way, Visual Basic essences. If you want to know, Visual Basic .NET is created by some stupid C (or C++, or C#)developers, not VB developers, stupidly interesting isn't it?\n\nAnd some people have also been saying that Visual Basic .NET is C# rebranded to get VB popularity over C\n\nVB.NET, IMO, should be put down, and VB7 (which is currently not available), should be put as the succesor of VB. VB7 would in my imagination, support .NET framework, but have the same concept to VB6

Some form of BASIC - the BEGINNER'S All-purpose Symbolic Instructions Code. Visual BASIC.net is the most recent version, and can be used to make web-enabled programs. The site I've listed below is run by a college professor who writes textbooks - it's an e-mail list.

Visual Basic (VB) is an event driven programming language and associated development environment prototyped by Alan Cooper as Project Ruby, then bought and vastly improved upon by Microsoft. VB has been replaced by Visual Basic .NET. The older version of VB was derived heavily from BASIC and enables rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using DAO, RDO, or ADO, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects.
