I think I remember people talking here about making changes to a Windows program that ran large layouts. <br /> <br />Nevertheless, this is OFF TOPIC. <br /> <br />Next year my son will be taking a computer programming course in high school, and it will use Visual Basic 6. He is an average student and I'd like to give him a little prep before that class. It seems like so many of the other kids are more into computers than he is. <br /> <br />Does Visual Basic use the BASIC programming language that I learned years ago? <br /> <br />The actual code is written in BASIC, then VB lets you use that code to make Windows? Is that kinda right? <br /> <br />So, if I can find an old PC with a BASIC compiler (or is it an interpreter?) on it, and I let him write simple algorithms and then code them, he will have a head start for next year? <br /> <br />I really can't go out and buy Visual Basic. <br /> <br />Thanks alot. <br />Ken <br />
