Interview question and answer: Advantages of Visual Basic

Advantages of Visual Basic

December 20, 2015 Visual Basic No comments

Visual Basic is not particularly complicated for the average programmer. VB’s graphical interface makes it ideal for a beginning programmer and it doesn’t take long to create your first program. One large advantage for VB is rapid application development (RAD). You are able to build a computer programs with VB in as little as 60 to 90 days for Windows operating systems.
One of the advantages to Visual Basic is its popularity. There is a large user base to join where you can discuss problems and solutions with other users. You will find many books and other resources available on VB as well as many additional code snippets to use in VB to further simplify your programming tasks. Once you have learned the basics of VB, you can move onto other scripting languages like Visual Basic Applications or Visual Basic Script.

At some points of visual basic

1. The structure of the Basic programming language is very simple, particularly as to the executable code;

2. VB is a component integration language which is attuned to Microsoft’s Component Object Model (“COM”);

3. VB provides a comprehensive interactive and context-sensitive online help system;

4. When editing program texts the “IntelliSense” technology informs you in a little popup window about the types of constructs that may be entered at the current cursor location;

5. The graphical user interface of the VB-IDE provides intuitively appealing views for the management of the program structure in the large and the various types of entities (classes, modules, procedures, forms, …);

6. The VB-IDE has been highly optimized to support rapid application development (“RAD”). It is particularly easy to develop graphical user interfaces and to connect them to handler functions provided by the application;

7. VB is not only a language but primarily an integrated, interactive development environment (“IDE”);

8. There is a wealth of readily available COM components for many different purposes.

9. COM components can be embedded in / linked to your application’s user interface and also in/to stored documents (Object Linking and Embedding “OLE”, “Compound Documents”);

10. COM components can be written in different languages and then inegrated using VB. Interfaces of COM components can be easily called remotely via Distributed COM (“DCOM”), which makes it easy to construct distributed applications;

11. Plug and play wizards to connect databases;

12. (dot) operator for objects to expose its properties and methods;

13. Debugging the source code;

14. Flexibility in design time;

15. VB is a rapid application Tool to develop applications faster.
