Visual Basic
Visual Basic is a programming language developed by Alan Cooper for Microsoft. The programming language is a dialect of BASIC, with important additions. The first version was presented in 1991 with the intention of simplifying programming using a completely graphical Integrated Development Environment that facilitates the creation of graphical interfaces. Around 2001, Microsoft has proposed to abandon the development based on the Win32 API and on a common framework of independent libraries independent of the operating system version, .NET Framework, and across Visual Basic .NET (and other languages like C Sharp (C#) for easy code transition between them) that present serious incompatibilities with the existing Visual Basic code.
Visual Basic (Visual Studio) constitutes an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that has been packaged as a programming application that is said to consist of a code editor (program from which you write code) a debugger (program that corrects errors in the code so it compiles), a compiler (program that translates the code to machine langauge), and a graphical interface or GUI builder (is a form of programming that does not require writing code for the graphical part of the program).
