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

This page will be my discussion on the computer programming language Visual Basic, otherwise known as VBasic. I have been programming for several years and very much enjoy this language although many will say it is an antiquated language.

I became interested in computer programming many years ago when I was in college. I was an architectural engineering major and a BASIC programming language class was required. I found out quickly that I really enjoyed making computer perform a function. My newfound knowledge never really went anywhere for several years until I purchased an Apple personal computer which came with it's own version of BASIC. I learned the language and started creating programs which I used for various chores. I eventually changed to an IBM compatible system and discovered QBasic which was still very similar to the other languages I had learned. I once again stepped up to Visual Basic, also known as VBasic many years ago and have advanced through several versions, finally settling on version 5.0. I have thought about stepping up once again to version 6.0 but am resisting so far due to the possible learning curve. I have also experimented with some other ventures into programming, mostly with web page design and creation. In doing that, I have learned some javascript, cascading style sheets and some PHP (enough to be dangerous at times).
