A program that offers both basic and expert settings for developers of all experience levels, Microsoft Visual Basic allows developers to create their own software applications all in one platform.

Users can create an application that is based on .NET framework and is usable on Windows computers. The platform operates in a variety of programming languages and includes security provisions that have been rated as excellent. Microsoft Visual Basic guides the user through the process of creating a software application step-by-step from the time that the user creates his installation file.

Designed around a drag and drop interface, the platform allows the user to create one or more forms. Each form corresponds with its own screen in the platform. The user uses the drag and drop options to add menus, buttons, text fields and other object options. It combines all of these elements and offers solutions for issues in a wide variety of web applications.

Microsoft Visual Basic also writes lines of code and uses a syntax that is similar to past editions of the program. It is one of the most intuitive software building applications available when compared to other programming languages.

The software builder even features an extensive text editor that offers several features. Among them are features such as an error checker that will auto-correct errors as it finds them.

Though it has been said the Microsoft Visual Basic can be complicated for beginning users to learn, it is worth checking out and learning. The interface makes it easier than ever to create a software application with much less of a headache then some competing programs.
