In that post, Dollard said, "We remain committed to Visual Basic and continue to invest in maintaining C# interop and Visual Studio features for folks that love Visual Basic or want a stable language." There were changes for VB, though, as documented in the company's " Annotated Visual Basic language strategy," which was updated on the same day as Dollard's post (Feb. The gist of the update, as author Kathleen Dollard said several times in the update blog post and on social media, is that "You won't find big changes." This article is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.Microsoft updated its programming languages strategy, confirming that Visual Basic will remain a going concern even though it's still relegated to second-rate status when compared to C# and F#. Qt, GTK and wxWidgets are examples of toolkits.
GUI toolkit: a special kind of software libraries that is used by programmers toĭevelop graphical programs with windows, buttons, mouse interactions,Įtc.GUI builder: graphical user interface builder (also called 'form editor', ), the part of IDE where one does drag and drop to build a window of his/her program.Integrated development environment, the whole window of the programmingĪpplication where one writes code and do everything related. Runtime: a special program required to run on target operating systems to run another program.Similar to compiler, but doing the translation in a very differentĪpproach instead. C, C++, C# are languages that require compilers. Compiler: a special program to translate a written code in a language to machine code.Language: the programming language one write code with.We recommend Qt as the number one for everyone who want to fully switch from VB. Best examples of computer software created with Qt are among others Kubuntu, KDE, Telegram and VirtualBox.
With Qt, one can create graphical desktop applications for GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS. This platform includes a complete set of code examples suitable for first learners. Qt is the full software development kit, C++ is the language, and Creator is the IDE as well as GUI builder included. This makes programs created with VB proprietary and can not run except on Windows. Visual Basic is a fully proprietary software programming platform, that means, the language, the IDE, the resulting programs, and the OS where it can run, are all proprietary. Visual Basic is the full software development kit, BASIC is the programming language, VB 6 is a particular version of the platform, and Visual Studio is the IDE as well as GUI designer.
