"No need to compare VC++ wiyh VB"
Which Development tool should I use it is purely based on you requrirements. For Ex:If I need to write Lotus API or Device Drivers or some communication programs or DLLS we dont have many choices only thing is VC++/C++. VB can't do all these things. VB is a very good development tool to develop application very fast. In my view VC++ is a great tool which has reduced lots of my time in developing better software.

"Used By More Developers Worldwide Than Any Other Language"
Basic has been maligned by developers for many years, and in the early days it deserved it.

However in version Visual Basic 6.0, Microsoft's has created a very capable platform for building robust and mission critical enterprise level software systems. Not only is Visual Basic relatively easy to learn when compared to C++, Java, Perl, etc, you create serious software with Visual Basic.

What's more, Visual Basic has spawned a *huge* third party market for software components that can greatly reduce the time it takes to build software. How do I know? In 1994 I founded VBxtras, "The #1 Source of Tools for Visual Basic Developer's Worldwide."...

With its ease of learning, its robust architecture, and its tremendous number of available third party components, you can easily see why Visual Basic is one of *the* best choices for building software solutions in the new millennia.

"Installs just fine. But does not scale well"
If nothing else this product loads well. I loaded it on windows 2000 with the minimum effort. I picked all custom choices just to see what was included. When it finished loading all the goodies. There is a lot of boasting on the box and on the screen during loading. There is an online manual that can be loaded. I now have this on my system with visual studio (never heard or this until it was dropped on my desk.)

Because Visual basic is restricted for use on toys, my mission is to convert an application to various environments and systems. They hired some kid for the initial application and all he knew was VB. I usually stay away from such restricted environments so I will need to learn just enough to convert it to "C" and maybe just some sort of SQL. If I can figure out how to break the objects down to an assembly level them VB may be good to keep incase we do have a use for toy environments. Right now it is awfully bulky and hard to fine tune for communications! applications that will require 400+ users.

Anyway so far I am having no problems with the product its self and therefore I have to give it the five stars for ease of installation and not messing up the environment. Then I need to take at least one away for lack of portability.

"The best second programming language to learn"
If you are getting into programming, I would absolutely recommend Visual Basic be the second language you learn. Before this, though, buy the book "SAMS Teach Yourself Beginning Programming in 24 Hours." You will learn a LOT from this book, and you will attain a mastery of the QBASIC programming language. QBASIC is the base of Visual Basic, so VB will come surprisingly easy to you. I'm going to be starting to learn C++ soon, and polish my JavaScript soon after. How old am I? Why, I just turned 14. (I told you this was easy!) With VB6, you will be making professional-looking Windows applications in no time!

"An "ok" language"
Visual Basic 6 is a very easy to learn language. If you have ANY knowledge of programming at all, then you will be able to pick it up in under a week. If you are a beginner, then this is the language for you. I was writing trainers for games with this language in under 10 days, and i'm only 14.

"bait and switch", I ordered Microsoft Visual Basic Professional 6.0 with Plus Pack,as advertized. I received VB 4.0, so be very careful when dealing on here. I am finished with this venue to purchase items that are integral to my work. Every piece of advertisement stated VB6.0...... but the seller (msblissbooklist)
was dishonest. USE CARE when dealing with this seller. She has refused to answer 5 e-mails.

"Microsoft's Greatest Gift", My programming experience: Fortran -> Basic -> QuickBasic -> Assembly Language linked to QuickBasic -> finally Visual Basic 6. I've written thousands of pages of code for VB6. To the reviewer who wrote that Visual Basic is for "toy applications", I hope he's grown-up since 2000. Apparently he doesn't understand the power of this program. The complexity that VB6 allows is limited only by a programmer's intelligence and imagination.

I am very disappointed in the direction that Microsoft took by dropping VB6 and going in the direction of VB.Net. There is room in the world for both VB6 and Net. I sense that the intellectual incest of certain system oriented "C" purests went into making that decision. Unfortunately, everthing in life eventually becomes political, especially company politics, and great ideas can become trivialized. I may one day learn "Net", but I can't scrap my existing code. I need VB6 and Net to work together.

I've survived using VB Learning Edition for years, which is amazing. I found VB Professional Edition on this site before it goes into extinction, simply because I need one control, "Internet Transfer Control" - otherwise Learning Edition has satisfied all my needs writing very complex programs.



"The best development tool in the world.", Easy to learn, providing lightning fast application development, worldwide supported, intuitive. It sounds like a Microsoft commercial, but it's my honest opinions about Visual Basic 6.

Underrated in performance when it comes to execution speed. If somebody tells you that speed is a con with VB6 that is not true. This is also the fastest Visual Basic version (including VB.NET).

Visual Basic 6 has never failed me. It simply is the best development tool.

"Great MS Developmental tool", This is a great tool! I have use it with numberous MS office apps, created games, software from Db and Dna 2k utilization. Going from Quick Basic to VB3 to VB5. VB6 has the better libray and the ultilization of COM+ and DirectX the horizon is virtually endless.

"Good for end-user interface but not much else", VB is probably the best language Microsoft has spit up so far. This latest edition adds some nice features for doing tasks with minimal thought. It's really worthless for trying to do anything beyond simple programs(Meaning not much code) created using pre-done libraries and controls(*.OCX). But that's what's so nice about it. Let's say you developed foo program for bar OS (Foo and Bar are standard variables used commonly in programming groups), and wanted to bring it over to windows, making all of foo's features excessible through GUI. Simple enough, just copy the source not associated with bar's GUI and compile it into a DLL or OCX then use VB to associate methods and with the Windows GUI. Very handy especially when doing cross platform development. The main reason it lost points with me is due to the price...truly insane! I could see even $100 being tolerable but $500 is ludicrous, but I guess this price just reminds us that Micro$oft is behind this, otherwise decent, tool.

Note: Any kiddies out their wanting to learn a language, DON'T start with this(Try Perl instead). It teaches terrible habits that are hard to grow out of, making it difficult to learn other languages, and will get you reamed by your college professors. The major things are:

1)Everything is shown while typeing. So typing in "foobar." shows everything associated with foobar.

2)Case errors are automatically corrected.

3)Variable types are too easy to work with. There are very few real languages that let you call a 'variant' type (Although Perl handles most of it's types of variables in a similar manner).

Hope this helped anyone considering spending the $500.

"DLL's A Snap In Visual Basic", DLL's written in Visual Basic instead of C++ actually run faster, much faster, especially mathematically-oriented stuff! This has been backed up by tests! VB is incredible, incredible, incredible!

"SUPER", I have been studying Visual Basic Programming for three hours a day for 6 weeks and i love Visual Basic.... it is an IDE Programming language and when I first tried this..... i just gasped.... i couldn't belive what i could do in this ..... i recommned this to all programmers.... professionals and amateurs! OK maybe some people have said to you that this programming language sucks... that it's only for kids...... but they are microsoft haters they all use Linux cause Microsoft overcharges everything!

VB is a great language......

"Awesome", One of the easiest to learn and funest programming languages! The possibilites are endless with this sofware! A definate for any programmer.

"Awesome", One of the easiest to learn and funest programming languages! The possibilites are endless with this sofware! A definate for any programmer.

"Great and easy to use even for beginners", I just started programming this year in high school. I started with Q-Basic and have since moved onto Visual Basic 6.0. WOW! The program is awesome and fun to use. I have been saving up money to buy it and just recently purchased it to use at home. I would tell anyone interested in buying it to go for it. It is well worth the price.
