- [Instructor] This course, Visual Basic Essential Training, is designed to introduce you to the Visual Basic language. We'll be using the latest version, the one that ships with Visual Studio 2017 and 2019. Most of the features discussed in the course are available in older versions of Visual Basic. If you are new to programming, you should be able to follow along with most of the concepts in this course. Be aware that I interlace topics as we proceed, so you might be learning about Windows UI concepts at the same time you are exploring how to write loops. For the experienced programmers, you'll see the VB syntax and how it fits into the .NET ecosystem. Most of the concepts will be familiar to you. If you're brand new to programming, I recommend that you also watch this course, Programming Foundations: Fundamentals. This course will help you understand most of the vocabulary that software developers use. Visual Basic is an object oriented language. This course doesn't spend much time on those principles. To learn more about object oriented programming terminology, watch the course Programming Foundations: Object-Oriented Design. Throughout this course we'll create applications with Visual Basic. The two main types of apps showcased are console applications and Windows desktop apps created with WPF. Once you've mastered Visual Basic, you can move your expertise over to other project types, like web applications created with ASP.NET, Windows and web services, and modern Windows 10 applications written with UWP.
