Ever want to learn Visual Basic but every other website was too complex? Or not complex enough? Or something like that? Well, I created this website to try and make learning Visual Basic INCREDIBLY simple for ANYONE to learn.
Requirements For This Tutorial
- NO Knowledge of ANY other language =).
- Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 (Sorry but you need it).
Who is this for?
This is for people who have no prior knowledge of computer languages or how they work. This is for people who get easily confused by other tutorials out there. This is for...the majority =).
This tutorial may seem longer, or take longer than other tutorials, but that is because of its detail and examples for all its coding. I will try to explain everything as easy as I can with more common wording. For example...
Normal Sentence: This error frequently occurs due to misplacing of certain fractions of the script.
My Sentence: This problem happens a lot because you put some of the code in the wrong place.
Tutorial Design
Why does this website's design look so bad? I don't want you tricked by flashy tricks, or hard to read text. Black text on a white background is an easy way you keep your mind focused on learning Visual Basic. I CAN and HAVE created decent layouts in my time, but this isn't a place to show off HTML skills, this is strictly for learning.
Every lesson will usually have some hands-on work that you have to do. You will be making some scripts obviously, and this tutorial will guide you through them as you go.
After each lesson there will be a quiz about what you just learned. You don't HAVE to take it, but I suggest you do to make sure you memorized everything.
Like I said in "Who is this for?", I try to make the sentences as simple to understand as I can.
What will be explained in the rest of the tutorial?
Visual basic of course! I don't know what else to say about it. You will learn Visual Basic, and only Visual Basic.
On the other hand, this tutorial will most likely NOT include VERY advanced scripting. It'll give you what you need to get a good stable feel of Visual Basic, but it won't show you how to write Window XP or anything =P.
