VB : Visual BASIC is a loose extension of BASIC (Beginners All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) . And by loose I mean that the syntax is similar like
For X = 1 to 10
Z = Z+X
Next
This is about the only similarity.....
BASIC is a proceedurial language running and constantly repeating a sequence of code . So code would always be running to test if you press a key for example then do something
VB is an event driven code meaning that sections of code do not execute until something happens. Like pressing a key.
VB is also optimized for creating Windows displays and controls like textboxes , buttons, listboxes ect. You donot have to write code to make a Window (User Interface) all of that is done by Microsoft. With VB you can concentrate on writing your program without having to worry about how to make the Windows Display work.
BASIC is limited to text display and has very little graphic capability.

Yes, Eric is correct, of course. "VB" can mean only one thing: Visual Basic.
See my link below for more info. You can visit Microsoft's web site, too, of course.
