- m463 4y agoActually, I was amazed the first time I used visual basic. This was probably the first version of visual basic and it was loooong ago. It let you do gui programming immediately, which was pretty new. You sort of intuitively learned event-driven programming in a few minutes. Drag a button on the screen, and with a click you could enter the code to run when it was pressed. In comparison, lots of systems since then have been pretty powerful, but you exchanged that for layers (and layers) of complexity that many people never got through. For example, I was pretty surprised the first time I used xcode. I thought it was apple - and they would make things easy. But in comparison to my first try at visual basic it was not intuitive, even after using it a while. (Did Steve Jobs ever try it?)
