VB6 Still Relevant?


Visual Basic 6 (VB6) is a programming language that was widely used in the past, but it is no longer as relevant as it once was. VB6 was released in 1998 and was succeeded by Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) in 2002. While VB6 is still used by some organizations, it is no longer supported by Microsoft, and most developers have moved on to newer programming languages and platforms.

If you are interested in learning VB6, it is still possible to find resources and documentation online. However, it is important to note that VB6 is an outdated language and may not be the best choice for new development projects. Instead, you may want to consider learning a more modern programming language such as C#, Java, or Python, which are widely used in the industry and have more robust support and resources available.

Have you tried the new twinBASIC programming language?

It is VB6 compatible and can import VB6 source code.

Looks promising, but not really a fan of the monthly subscription model. Might be fine for companies or corporations who want to resurrect some old projects, but for independent developers, I think it will be a non-starter.
