Microsoft Visual Basic (often abbreviated as VB only) is a programming language that offers Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to create a visual software program Microsoft Windows-based operating system using a programming model (COM).
Visual Basic is a derivative of the BASIC programming language and offering software development based computer graphics quickly.
Some scripting languages such as Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), similar like Visual Basic, but it works differently.
The programmer can build an application using the components provided by Microsoft Visual Basic programs written in Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but requires additional outside function declarations.
In programming for business, Visual Basic has a market share very wide. [1] A survey conducted in 2005 showed that 62% of software developers reported using various forms of Visual Basic, which is followed by C + +, JavaScript, C #, and Java.
Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, started the business by developing software Basic language interpreters for the Altair 8800, for then he changed to run on the IBM PC with DOS operating system. The next development was the launch of BASICA (basic-advanced) for DOS. After BASICA, Microsoft launched Microsoft QuickBasic and Microsoft Basic (also known as Basic Compiler).
Visual Basic is a development of the computer language BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code). BASIC language was created by Professor John Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz of Dartmouth College in the mid-1960s. The English program is organized similar to English used by the programmer to write a simple computer program that serves as a learning the basic concepts of computer programming.
Since then, many versions of BASIC were developed for use on a variety of computer platforms, such as Microsoft QBASIC, QuickBASIC, GWBASIC, BASICA IBM, Apple BASIC and others.
Apple BASIC developed by Steve Wozniak, a former employee of Hewlett Packard and a close friend of Steve Jobs (founder of Apple Inc.). [2] Steve Jobs Wozniak never worked with before (they made the arcade game "Breakout" for Atari). They collect money and together assemble a PC, and on 1 April 1976 they formally established computer company Apple. Popularity and wide use of BASIC with different types of computers played a role in developing and improving the language itself, and eventually led to the birth of Visual Basic-based GUI (Graphic User Interface) in conjunction with Microsoft Windows. Programming Visual Basic is so easy for beginners and programmers seasonal because it saves programming time by providing ready-made components.
Until the end of Visual Basic also has evolved into several versions, until recently, the Visual Basic 2010. However Visual Basic 6.0 version remains the most popular because it is easy to make the program and he did not spend a lot of memory.
History of Microsoft BASIC on hand as an interpreted language (BASICA) as well as a compiled language (BASCOM) makes Visual Basic is implemented as a combination of both. using the Visual Basic programmer can choose the programming language code or a code that must be compiled programming language interpreted as the result of porting VB code. [3] Unfortunately, despite being compiled so language machine, the DLL named MSVBVMxx.DLL still needed. However, the characteristics of the compiled language still appears (it is faster than if we use terinterpretasi mode).
