Be sure to rate and comment.
Visual Basic 2008 is the latest version of Visual Basic Created By Microsoft. It is almost similar to Visual Basic 2005, and Visual Basic 6 but it has added many new features. Visual Basic 2008 is a full fledged Object-Oriented Programming(OOP) Language, so it has caught up with other OOP languages witch include C++, Java,C# and others. However, you don't have to know OOP to learn Visual Basic 2008.

Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition is available free for download from the following links. Copied and pasted from the Microsoft site I do not own these: English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish.
