Visual web design was occurring back in the 90s as well. Dreamweaver was popular but so was Visual Web Developer Express. It had similar drag & drop into the UI functionality with HTML. They didn't survive the great HTML standardization efforts led by FireFox/Netscape, and later Chrome. XHTML had a popular moment due to it's more strict/rigid code design, but was soon scrapped and the web continued to become a bigger and bigger disaster of ideas jumbled together. Now the native language of the web is nearly lost in the ecosystem of translation compilers (TypeScript => JS, SCSS => CSS). The other big issue was screen sizes/resolutions transitioned from somewhat predictable to don't even try. Assume anything is possible, and attempt to display content for that user in a meaningful way.
When you start on a new job and you think: hey this is a really big company, they will only use the most powerful software tools and everything will be well organized. And then they are like: welcome abord. First thing you got to do is to fix this excel VBA script that a trainee developed 20 years ago and now our whole company relies on.
i work in banking, and while we are not fixing VBA scripts, the programs we use look and function like they were built 30 years ago. it's terrible. using these terrible programs was literally my inspiration for learning code, because i thought even an idiot like me could at least build a better front end.
I +1 this. I work in IT at one of the largest truck stops in the united states and half of the programs that keep our stores running were created about 25 years ago and have never been updated since deployment. My managers state that no one will touch them because of how complex they are and how interlinked they are with each other, but part of me feels like it's because of how lazy they are
About 15 years ago I worked at a large research company. There was actually an older guy who did his machine learning in VB from an Excel sheet. It was ridiculous. First thing I did in the first week of working for that company, was rewrite his code into MATLAB. Then just a few years ago, a guy came to work for me and he rewrote my MATLAB code into Python :-(
Get your stuff! Windows NT 3.x 3.51: winworldpc.com/product/windows-nt-3x/351 Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0: winworldpc.com/product/microsoft-visual-bas/40 Microsoft SQL Server 4.x: winworldpc.com/product/sql-server/4x
The install package of Windows 3.1 was nine floppy disks. No updates, upgrades, patches. Required 1 MiB of RAM. That Windows could handle windows, icons, fonts, buttons and labels, lists and combos, file boxes and control dialogs. There was a text editor in there, a calculator, a calendar, some printer drivers and a solitaire game. What can Windows 11 do? Just the same. But much slower.
If you really have to make a calendar or other time-based app, I hope you use external library for time-keeping instead of implementing one yourself cuz that would be one hell of a torture.
I don't understand your point here sir. but what I want you to recognize is how simple to create a program using visual basic. not all time I need to launch my program in net. there are times that I only needed a program just for myself.
Hhh very true because before 20 years bill gate use framework but java script spcly jquery with no user interface design.. dnt worry because javascript is not high level programing language its just for browser only
Well, Web UI now comprises mostly of CSS - most developers would prefer to hand-type positions, widths and heights. It lets the developer specify precise positioning for their elements. If you used an IDE for that - after doing a drag and drop - you'd most likely have to switch to code anyway and cross-check whether the code generated was what you wanted. Things like position:absolute or position:relative, and especially in complex web UI where you have many nested divs - you get more control if you hand-write it as opposed to using an IDE. An IDE is just not suited for that.
VB was and is a very good product. It would be good if they created a version for non-professionals as well, based on VB6, so that anyone who studies that programming language for a few days can write a program (as VB6 or previous versions were).
VBScript is included in Windows since 98 till now and of course VBA is included in MS Office. However Visual Basic and related languages are awful for introduction to programming. You can't start with an object oriented language and writing event handlers. To learn one needs a procedural language first.
The good old days when programming really means programming, you code and you get what you code. These days programming means dealing with a large ecosystem, pulling packages and dependencies, changing dependencies when the first one does not work.
I'm happy with the changes. These days it is so simple to get something off the ground. Need a FPS character controller? There are tons of videos on how to make them. Need a weapon model? Most asset stores have free to use packages. While in some ways it was simpler to code then, in most it's actually gotten better today. I made many games on the apple IIe line back in the late 90's (our school was poor) and have to say I'd never want to go back.
Programming is just a tool to realize your project. These days you need a good design for a project. 2020 programmers should be architects and engineers, not construction workers. We exernalized our knowledge of syntax and libraries to concentrate on the things, that really matter: the project itself.

Back then with the original Visual Basic it was extremely easy for a novice to write a windows application. Today, languages and development frameworks are much more powerful in terms of testability and professional development but much less accessible to non-professional programmers. For a simple app you really don't need to be concerned with test driven development, SOC, design patterns, dependency injection, OOP, etc.

Programming was way easier than today! After 5 years from entering the programming world, til now I don't know how to make a GUI with Java Or any other language The only language that have offered me time is C# ! Yeah a Microsoft product so ...
Making a GUI is actually not that hard. I made quite a few using applesoft basic, qbasic, and c++. Things were simpler then because you were more limited. Libraries had fewer functions. If you wanted to find the largest item in an array, you had to actually iterate through that array looking for it. Today you just do a array.Max(); in c# . So you have more to learn, but what we have is FAR more powerful.

Visual web design was occurring back in the 90s as well. Dreamweaver was popular but so was Visual Web Developer Express. It had similar drag & drop into the UI functionality with HTML. They didn't survive the great HTML standardization efforts led by FireFox/Netscape, and later Chrome. XHTML had a popular moment due to it's more strict/rigid code design, but was soon scrapped and the web continued to become a bigger and bigger disaster of ideas jumbled together. Now the native language of the web is nearly lost in the ecosystem of translation compilers (TypeScript => JS, SCSS => CSS). The other big issue was screen sizes/resolutions transitioned from somewhat predictable to don't even try. Assume anything is possible, and attempt to display content for that user in a meaningful way.

i work in banking, and while we are not fixing VBA scripts, the programs we use look and function like they were built 30 years ago. it's terrible. using these terrible programs was literally my inspiration for learning code, because i thought even an idiot like me could at least build a better front end.
I +1 this. I work in IT at one of the largest truck stops in the united states and half of the programs that keep our stores running were created about 25 years ago and have never been updated since deployment. My managers state that no one will touch them because of how complex they are and how interlinked they are with each other, but part of me feels like it's because of how lazy they are
About 15 years ago I worked at a large research company. There was actually an older guy who did his machine learning in VB from an Excel sheet. It was ridiculous.

Yep, then, by leap after leap came Windows XP, after which began the even more huge leaps backwards.
The install package of Windows 3.1 was nine floppy disks. No updates, upgrades, patches. Required 1 MiB of RAM. That Windows could handle windows, icons, fonts, buttons and labels, lists and combos, file boxes and control dialogs. There was a text editor in there, a calculator, a calendar, some printer drivers and a solitaire game. What can Windows 11 do? Just the same. But much slower.

26 years later of "progress" we have JavaScript frameworks with no IDE or UI designer that can keep up with them. Went completely backwards.
I don't understand your point here sir.
but what I want you to recognize is how simple to create a program using visual basic.
not all time I need to launch my program in net. there are times that I only needed a program just for myself.
Hhh very true because before 20 years bill gate use framework but java script spcly jquery with no user interface design.. dnt worry because javascript is not high level programing language its just for browser only
Well, Web UI now comprises mostly of CSS - most developers would prefer to hand-type positions, widths and heights. It lets the developer specify precise positioning for their elements. If you used an IDE for that - after doing a drag and drop - you'd most likely have to switch to code anyway and cross-check whether the code generated was what you wanted. Things like position:absolute or position:relative, and especially in complex web UI where you have many nested divs - you get more control if you hand-write it as opposed to using an IDE. An IDE is just not suited for that.

Que lindos recuerdos! Y Recuerdo aquellos años de secundaria en donde nos introducían a la programación con Visual Basic.
still amazing, with the easy gui and interface.. love it.
VB was and is a very good product. It would be good if they created a version for non-professionals as well, based on VB6, so that anyone who studies that programming language for a few days can write a program (as VB6 or previous versions were).
VB is dead.
VBScript is included in Windows since 98 till now and of course VBA is included in MS Office. However Visual Basic and related languages are awful for introduction to programming. You can't start with an object oriented language and writing event handlers. To learn one needs a procedural language first.
Visual Basic was such an awsome tool when it came out. Made it easy to create user interfaces.
The good old days when programming really means programming, you code and you get what you code. These days programming means dealing with a large ecosystem, pulling packages and dependencies, changing dependencies when the first one does not work.
Like now the first package you use works, huh?
I'm happy with the changes. These days it is so simple to get something off the ground. Need a FPS character controller? There are tons of videos on how to make them. Need a weapon model? Most asset stores have free to use packages. While in some ways it was simpler to code then, in most it's actually gotten better today. I made many games on the apple IIe line back in the late 90's (our school was poor) and have to say I'd never want to go back.
Programming is just a tool to realize your project. These days you need a good design for a project. 2020 programmers should be architects and engineers, not construction workers. We exernalized our knowledge of syntax and libraries to concentrate on the things, that really matter: the project itself.
Now days I have a more advanced calender built into my watch
yeah, today its a mess. several thousand of libs to do the same thing. Javascript destroyed everything.
I literally have a Visual Basic exam tomorrow, is the appearance of this video an omen of... something? Wish me luck!
I miss the days when a simple calendar application with a graphical user interface was an impressive thing...
That isn't what was impressive, it's that he could use a graphical user interface to make this graphical user interface, and program the logic behind it with ease using such a easy to learn but capable programming language

Brings me back to my first year of my Computer Science course using VB for the majority of the projects, even the lecturer sounded like Bill a bit.
Back then with the original Visual Basic it was extremely easy for a novice to write a windows application. Today, languages and development frameworks are much more powerful in terms of testability and professional development but much less accessible to non-professional programmers. For a simple app you really don't need to be concerned with test driven development, SOC, design patterns, dependency injection, OOP, etc.

I made enough money writing VBXs to put a down payment on a house. Thanks Bill and Alan!

Yeah a Microsoft product so ...
Java Swing is atrocious, I've heard Java FX is a bit friendlier, but still no where near as easy as this presented here.
Making a GUI is actually not that hard. I made quite a few using applesoft basic, qbasic, and c++. Things were simpler then because you were more limited. Libraries had fewer functions. If you wanted to find the largest item in an array, you had to actually iterate through that array looking for it. Today you just do a array.Max(); in c# . So you have more to learn, but what we have is FAR more powerful.
You can also use java scene builder it is freely available and easy to use
