I'm writing a history of Visual Basic, Chapter 1 is up

As soon as I left high school, I needed a small IT job, and that's what I got!

Using VB.net and Access (which I had learned at school), I had to create a management system for the dam's water irrigation contracts.

Twelve years later, it is still in use and working great: simple with a single task!

That's it! A boring story, I admit, but it's really nice to have something that ‘works’.

anyone remember Gambas? the "Visual Basic" on Linux?

For so many years I’ve been wondering but never really knew what happened to Borland and Delphi.

I hated Pascal due to how discouraging our lyceum teacher was and how ancient TP felt in the early 2000s. Plus I learned QBasic at school and then logically moved on to Visual Basic 6.

Though I remember that indeed Delphi was better than VB in many ways, including not needing to provide a runtime.

Well that was more than I expected to have to learn about Excel VB macros!

I don't have a lot of my old Visual Basic 5.0 games' code but I have some... :T
Was just a teenager experimenting with WinSock.

FYI: QBasic Nostalgia: Remembering the 90s Programming Era #shorts: Remember QBasic? It came bundled with Windows, making coding accessible. But Microsoft stopped evolving Visual Basic, leaving simple coding in the past. Now, DOSBox emulators are needed to relive those early programming days. #QBasic #Windows #VisualBasic #DOSBox #CodingHistory https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BL_APGGJA9g

Ditched MS for #libreoffice on my home pc 🥳 Can anyone tell me if there’s an equivalent to #VisualBasic with it? Not for anything major, making a cute menstrual tracker for my teenage daughter and want to create a little dashboard using automations I’d usually pop in vb.

Wow, after installing #solaris 2.5.1 on my #sun ultra 10, I can really see why people loved these old #Unix workstations.

It's so easy to develop some software on this!

@giacomo @jana @m3tti @mtorchiano OK. Point taken.

I learned programming starting from bulbs, batteries, switches... and transistor, then logic gates then BASIC. You know, that kind stuck with we and I did my best to steer clear from crappy tech w/o future. I ignored #Perl in favour of #Pythom, I did my part of #VisualBasic, however. I developed PTSD from #JavaScript in early '00s, steer clear since. #PHP become synonym of junk, avoided as well.

Embedded Systems are my preferred environment.

Since foone is making #VisualBasic trend, just a reminder to check out my fun #vb4 projects, if you want. Including the OpenGL demo and the GDI-based raycaster, #vbray (see hashtag for source link): https://mastodon.social/@indigoparadox/113360125091578147

It's not VB6 but VB4 is just as good IMO. Even better, since it can run in Windows 3.x!

Back in the early 90s businesses were convinced you wouldn‘t need programmers any more because business users could just drag and drop code modules and have a working app. Didn’t exactly turn out that way. I don’t think AI is going to replace the need for smart tech people like a lot of businesses think/hope. #ai #history #visualbasic

Avalonia Visual Basic 6 is a recreation of the Visual Basic 6 IDE that also runs in the browser. It looks quite close to the original.

Ah yes, because what the world truly needed was a Visual Basic #IDE for 🌟Native Linux Dotnet Development🌟. And thank you, #GitHub, for reminding us that AI can write terrible code too— now with extra security features to protect us from ourselves! 🙄🚀
