Over the next few weeks I want to write tutorials using Visual Basic Express but more specifically in the Visual Basic  Command Line Environment. It is the most easiest language to understand and will help learn other Syntax for both Software Development and Web Development.

Please note: There wont be any fluency to how often the posts will be uploaded if it’s three times a day or once a day but check me out on Visual Basic Tutor where I’ll be sure to tweet on new posts.

It’s also worth mentioning that each post is part of a wider tutorial, by the end you’ll understand and be able to program Visual Basic in it’s full. I’ve also included both information and exercises. Some exercises continue through several posts so be sure not to get confused. If you find that you’ve been educated. Why not donate?

Creating  a Console Application in Visual Basic.

Okay, lets kick something off quickly before moving on, creating a console application in Visual Basic.

How to Open Visual Basic Express

  • Go to the Windows Start menu
  • Go to All Programmes
  • Find Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition

Creating a Visual Basic Project

Before we can start programming, hold you horses! You need first create a VB Project which will store all the information in a project folder containing several sub folders and files.

  • Go to “File” > “New” then go on to click Project

Choose the template Console Application and continue to name your project.

Save Your Project

Before you do anything save your project. You don’t want to lose any of your hard work. To do this

  • File > Save All
  • Click Save in the “save project dialog”

Next we’ll look at the Visual Basic: Programming Environment before going on to write some programs!
