"Sad! Now you can't even make 1,200 with VB." A VB programmer expressed his feelings. The once prosperous VB programming language is now on the verge of being eliminated, which is a pity.

The once popular VB programming language is now on the verge of being eliminated, which is a pity.

I vaguely remember that when I was in college, there was a classmate of finance who liked computers and taught VB programming by himself when he had time. He also developed some small games and tools such as Goji, box pushing, typing software, and number drawers. After graduation, he relied on this excellent VB technology and his monthly salary reached 5K. That was 20 years ago, which amazed many people at that time.

The author once used VBA to process some excel data. Can VB programming only huddle in office automation and cannot be on the table?

is not the case. As long as you pay attention to the programming language rankings, it is not difficult to find that VB is quite popular abroad, but it is not valued in China.

Why is there a big gap in attitudes towards VB at home and abroad?

991, Microsoft launched Visual Basic 1.0 (VB1.0). Ease of use is its biggest feature, so it was quickly accepted by the public, especially non-professional IT personnel. Just like the financial student in front, these non-professional groups quickly gained the advantage of development.

With a huge user base, it has also pushed Microsoft to become the dominant position of PC today. VB has indelible contributions.

Later, the software industry battlefield moved from personal PC to the Internet, with prominent cross-platform attribute demands. On the other hand, the new programming language JAVA broke out, limited to VB in the Windwos system, which is obviously not suitable for the Internet dispute.

As VB moves towards VBA, it can be seen that Microsoft intends to shift its focus, laying the groundwork for VB to retreat behind the scenes.

Later, the VB.Net framework was released. The application scope of has expanded to Windows desktop, Web, etc. It seems that VB is upgraded, but in fact, VB.Net has too much changes, which is almost a different language from VB. VB finally came behind the scenes.

VB As an old hero of Microsoft , Microsoft has won the favor of ordinary people. Microsoft has always favored it and added . Even if it is not a mainstream language, it was not until March 2020 that Microsoft announced that it will no longer develop VB or add functions. Another convenient way to Win10 still supports VB use.

Based on Microsoft's preference, VB abroad is still popular, while domestic developers think that "new is better than old". In addition, VB has shortcomings such as cumbersome deployment, difficult to find plug-ins, and slow speed. The most important thing is that some professional programmers believe that using VB will make you look amateur and lose face.

Chinese programming is worth paying attention to

The same situation is also happening in the field of Chinese programming. Since 2000, Chinese programming has experienced more than 20 years of development. Now Chinese programming has achieved fruitful results. Many state-owned enterprises, government departments, etc. are using domestic self-developed Chinese programming to build management systems.

For example, the recently popular " cloud table platform" codeless Chinese programming. Its creator is a member of the original WPS team. Therefore, the cloud table platform is similar to WPS. It uses drag and pull, pure Chinese interface. Through simple processes, it can complete the construction of corresponding business system scenarios, such as purchase and sales , work order dispatch system, personnel assessment management system, supplier collaborative management platform and other common systems. Employees can build it themselves without writing a line of code.

Some programmers believe that Chinese programming is just a toy and can only process simple data. In fact, in addition to lightweight applications, cloud table platforms can also build large industrial-grade systems such as ERP and MES.

Summary

Real programmers rely on programming architecture and ideas, do not care about language, and must adapt to changes at any time. Whether it is VB programming or cloud table Chinese programming, it is a good tool for people to build quickly.
