History and evolution of Visual Basic 2010

The History of Visual Basic dates back to 1991 when VB 1.0 was introduced. The core of Visual Basic was

built on the older BASIC language, which was a popular programming language throughout the 1980s.

Visual Basic 2010 is an evolution of the Visual Basic language that is engineered for productively building

type-safe and object-oriented applications. Visual Basic enables developers to target Windows, Web, and

mobile devices. As with all languages targeting the Microsoft .NET Framework, programs written in Visual

Basic benefit from security and language interoperability.
