What is Called Visual Basics?
Visual Basic is a programming language that is created by Microsoft and is known for the Component Object Model (COM). This was first released in the year 1991 and declared as a legacy in the year 2008 by Microsoft. Then they started this up again and wanted to make this an easy to learn and use programming language.
The visual basic allows you to access multiple things and also use multiple applications on a computer. This means that a programmer can use the visual basics to create an application of his own. He will not have to use any other programming language to modify or to make it a website.
Programs that are written in visual basics can also be used in Window API but need to have declarations. The final release of the visual basics was done in the year 1998 and was called visual basics 6.0.
In the year 2014, many people still recommended using visual basics over visual basic.NET. Then there was a survey conducted in the year 2015 on the most used programming languages. It appears that Visual Basic is the second most used programming language that is used in the market.
