Rubicon's Visual Basic page for the complete novice such as myself. We will learn together!

These will certainly be musing of a complete amateur for a while until I get more experienced at programming in Visual Basic. I will never, however, be an expert or a professional. I purchased Visual Basic 3.0 Professional Edition about a year and a half ago and began to explore some of it's features and procedures. I learned QBasic several years ago and was hopeful that at least some of what I had learned would transfer over and much of it has.

One of the first things I learned was that a great deal of what you do in Visual Basic is with GUI (graphic user interface) where you create forms with buttons and areas where you interact with the Windows environment to tell it what you want to do. Then once the form is created, you add code to procedures so that when you click on something or input some data in a field, the program knows how to handle that.

Since I am just starting this page, this will be all for now but I would like to eventually add links to other Visual Basic pages and have a couple simple Freeware programs available for download. This page is definitely aimed at the beginner (like myself) and I hope I can enlighten someone on some aspect of this very fascinating language but for now, WYSIWYG!
