This is my introduction to visual basic 6. For those of you who don't know VB6 is a programming language, what makes it very unique is it's simplicity. By far VB6 is much easier to learn and comprehend than other more advance languages such as c/c++ and ASM.
The syntax (another word for language) of VB is very similar to English for ex:
This If statements checks whether the variable "Answer" equals "Yes" or "No" and depending on the "Answer" it gives a message box
If answer = "yes" then
msgbox("Answer is YES")
else
msgbox("answer is No")
End If
Roughly, that can be read as:
"If answer is yes, then Say answer is yes, or else Say answer is no"
(The "End if" closes the If statement, if you forget to put it or misplace it as soon as you go to the next line in your code you'll get a Big BEEP! from Visual Basic)
Easy to learn
Easy to Understand
Easy to program
The 3 main reasons why Visual Basic is an excellent language to start from!
