About this course

Welcome to Introduction to Programming: Visual Basic. In the course sequence you will learn to write programs that utilize both procedural and object oriented techniques to solve business problems. In the first course in the sequence we will provide you with a solid foundation in the computer science topics that are important to understand when programming Visual Basic. In courses two through four, we will role up our sleeves and start coding in Visual Basic. In these courses you need to have access to a computer that is running Windows, macOS or Linux with the .NET 5 installed. We will show you how to install .NET 5.

Enjoyable teaching. The quizzes seemed quite tricky considering how limited and short the videos were to learn the material. Thanks!

The course was excellent but there were spelling errors in some of the content and one of the answers on a certain quiz was incorrect. But overall, the course is structured in a good way.

Excellent course to review some rusty knowledge. It led me to start researching even more about subjects I was no so interested before.

There are Quiz problems with the answers being wrong in two place, but more importantly the video on OUtput which shows you how to actually RUN VB code is broken and points to the install video. And simply installing is not enough. VS Code and Visual Studio look NOTHING like the iteration in these videos (they do not even have tool bar menus and VB is not included in some set ups. This is not like Python where you can find 100+ development environments to work with, and MS is notoriously TERRIBLE and supporting current products with clear unmistakable directions. So, if you have an issue figuring out how to get hello world to run, you will remain stuck because the course is broken (and likely not in-depth enough either way) and microsoft visual studio products really are not user friendly at all!
