Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 The Real Knockout Contender Visual Basic 6.0 Douglas Smith
Visual Basic (VB) has been around for a long time--since its early versionst some 10 plus years ago. Many improvements over the years have raised VB to the level of a real knock-out contender. Visual Basic 6.0(VB6) is bundled with Visual Studio 6.0, which includes many fine tools for enhancing productivity, both with stand-alone and Web apps. In the early years of VB, one had to rely heavily on programming experience. In the early years VB was very code-intensive, causing most non-geeks to shy away because of the steep learning curve. Well, don’t shy away anymore; VB6 has incorporated so many enhancements that even the novice can be up and developing applications in a short period of time.
Microsoft of Redmond WA. has definitely done its homework with this release, listening to users' suggestions and comments. Visual Basic 6.0 is by far one of the most productive tools for creating fast business solutions for Windows and the Web. This is where the name RAD (Rapid Application Development) really shines. Quickly create and deploy client/server applications, plus easily program for the Internet using familiar Visual Basic programming tools and techniques.
