Visual BASIC 1.0 for DOS was the first one I learned. I was working for a community college and they had a BBS for Tradewars and other stuff. My supervisor and I tried to write a Tradewars game in Visual BASIC. Later on we got the Windows version and it was fun writing Windows applications with it. I got a job later on because I knew Visual BASIC and MS-Access 1.0 had just come out with Access BASIC that was like Visual BASIC and in 15 minutes I made a database in MS-Access to keep track of a record collection to get the job. Visual BASIC really peaked at 6.0 after that Visual C# killed it, Visual BASIC.Net isn't as good as the Classic Visual BASIC. I still work on VB 6.0 projects from time to time. I owned all Visual BASIC versions from 1.0 to 6.0 and I have the 2002 and 2003 etc versions on DVD that I barely used. I find Python and Ruby to be replacements for Visual BASIC.
