I did a few programs in VB in the early 90's. It was pretty easy to buy components and get data out of our database. It was also quite nice for writing a program that generated lesson plans from a score on the LAP / E-LAP assessments. I admit I was amazed at the ability to buy VBX components to do so many amazing things. It was really easy to plug them into your programs and get stuff running. I did cheat a bit and use a module that made the GUI of the programs I wrote look like the NeXTSTEP screen I was using at the time.
