Visual Basic
Beginner programming language
Visual Basic is a programming language developed by Microsoft, designed to make software development accessible through a graphical interface where programmers drag and drop elements rather than writing everything in code.
It dominated Windows application development in the 1990s.
VB was known for being beginner-friendly but looked down upon by some programmers as not "real" coding: I learned to program in Visual Basic before moving to C++.
