RATIONALE
Visual programming is the programming technique to make the task easy. This type of
programming has become very helpful for designing window based applications. This
subject will give the students an in depth understanding of the functions used in Visual
Basic. The practical exercise of Visual Basic during the course of the study will reinforce
the understanding of the subject.
