    There are many versions since 2002, which was years after VB6.
    If you're interested in learning, i'd recommend the Visual Studio Community 2022 edition which can be found at: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

    Thank you so much! Seems like Visual Basic .NET is very advanced. Thanks for sharing!

    It's not something you'd expect yourself to learn all in one go (in one course or one book). It's something where you build on each sucess as you start writing simple programs...

    If you know VB6, it wouldn't be advanced, it would just be different. There are many things that can be done in either one. There may be more alternative paths you can take in .NET, but that doesn't mean that you HAVE to take them. You can get into WPF for greater control of user interfaces, but you certainly don't need to. You can get into various forms of multi-threading and asynchronous programming, but you don't have to. Ultimately, every programming language is just a tool that you can use to construct whatever is in your imagination. Some are easier to learn than others, some have more utilities than others, but the key element is always your imagination.
    My usual boring signature: Nothing
