Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition

As I am currently using this program a lot due to the fact I am doing an I.T course I thought it would be a good idea to give a review on it. Basically this program enables you to program prety much anything that involves visual basic code. Although you do have to be able to learn the code the program combines visual programming as well so you can draw out what you're program is going to look like beforehand. Being able to visual program it beforehand makes it a lot easier for the user because then you are able to program the buttons invidually as you go along. It's features include creating buttons, labels, tables, data grids, text boxes, message ...  Read the complete review

Introduction From the early days of computers a simple computer language existed that allowed novices to program computers. This language was called BASIC – or Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Set. It was a fairly simple language that bought computer programming to the masses; early computers (such as the ZX80, ZX81, BBC Micro) had BASIC pre-installed on a ROM and became the stepping-stone for many budding computer programmers. As computers became more sophisticated and the users began to demand more and more from the computers, the BASIC language evolved. Finally, as newer object oriented languages began appearing, and the Windows GUI ...  Read the complete review

I moved from Delphi development a while back to doing VB for work. Enterprise was the version I was handed and, quite daunted, I took up the challenge of writing a few new apps and modifying older ones. The language itself is simplicity itself to elarn. It'll come with practise, trust me. But what amazed me was the way that MS have made the whole programming experience basically a drag and drop affair. Even complex entities such as COM object become simple to use as the system registers them and makes them available on the component pallette. I still believe Delphi is a better language but I have to say that for speed of development VB has ...  Read the complete review

Strictly speaking I am only a Visual Basic beginner, but already I feel confident enough to take on a project possible. I started VB about 6 monts ago with little programming background and within in that period have designed an operating system for control of a machine at work. I found visual basic easy to get on to and would recommend any of the "Sams" "Teach Yourself VB in ....". The system I wrote consisted of a user interface which provided inputs and outputs to various external systems such as barcode scanners and PLC's (a unit similar to a microprocessor.) Vb easily lets you create profeesional forms etc. ...  Read the complete review

Having done programming in C and C++ for awhile, I decided to try Visual Basic for a change. I picked up a book, and got myself a copy of Visual Basic 6.0. To my delight, I found programming in Visual Basic real easy by comparison. The Visual Basic 6.0 development environment and programmer tools contribute significantly to this. User friendly graphical interface, does very well at representing objects and other programming concepts and excellent help files with some good tutorials are just some of the neat features of Visual Basic 6.0. It practically makes programming just a drag-and-drop task. And trust me, when you start using it, you won't find making ...  Read the complete review
