About this ebook
Visual Basic is one of the easiest to learn computer programming language and yet it is very powerful.
In my tutorial I used VB 6 to explain step by step how to create a simple Visual Basic Application and relatively complex one (a Patient Management system) that is using database. Patient Management application source code is explained in details.
You will learn how to design and create a database in MS Access and how to create tables and queries.
The book includes a sample application that shows how to use Windows API function.
You will learn how to convert VB program that can be run only in Visual Basic development environment to a distributable application that can be installed on any client computer.
All MS Office products include VBA (Visual Basic for Application) and if you learn VB you will know VBA!
For illustration, I included 128 screen shot images and links to video.
You will be able to download from my website complete source code for 7 Visual Basic projects including a Password Keeper, a Patient Management and a Billing Management applications.

Introduction
In 1995 Microsoft released Windows 95 and Visual Basic 4.0. Many US immigrants rushed to learn Visual Basic to become computer programmers. At that time I worked as a lab tech in a small laboratory on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn NY.
My wife keep telling me,
- Learn programming! You will earn good money!
- But I am biologist, - I argued.- I have no idea what programming is!
- Former musicians and housewives are learning programming! Come on! – argued my wife.
I registered in a private computer school in Brooklyn and started to learn Visual Basic.
Classes were three or four times a week during six months. I liked it. It was easy!
In eight months, I took Microsoft Certified Exam in Visual Basic 4.0 and passed it. My former teacher invited me to his school to teach Visual Basic. It was fun.
I liked programming so much that I continued my education in Borough of Manhattan community college where I learned 3 more computer languages: C++, Assembly and Java.
Visual Basic is one of the easiest to learn programming language and yet it is very powerful.
You do not have to be a geek, to understand it. One of my students did not know how to use computer, but after one year of learning Visual Basic he found job as computer programmer.
Of cause, I do not promise that after reading my tutorial you will become a professional, but I promise that you will be able to continue learning Visual Basic on your own.
You can download from my website 7 working VB projects: Hello World, Variable Scope, Checkers Game, Using Windows API, A Password Keeper, A Patient management application and A Billing Management application.
The Password keeper application allows you to store any number of passwords that you do not need to remember anymore.
