How do people make codes in Visual Basic? ITS SO CONFUSING!?

Question

Ok so I just made my first Web Browser in Visual Basic 2010...But like I want the feeling of being able to do something without any one's help...Like for example when I made the web browser I just basically copied the code...But my real question is...The first people who ever designed that code...How do they know what to write? For example...
Dim Browser As New WebBrowser
TabControl1.TabPages.Add("New Page")
Browser.Name = "Web Browser"
Browser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Add(Browser)
AddHandler Browser.ProgressChanged, AddressOf loading
AddHandler Browser.DocumentCompleted, AddressOf Done
int = int + 1
CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).GoHome()
This makes the "Home" redirected to the home page...But how did the people make this code? Like say no one ever invented this code...and I wanted to...where would I start? This might be a little confusing but try to understand...thanks in advancee :D

Answer 1

You have to learn how to program in VB.



In fact, If you learned any of the object languages, you would be able to read and understand VB code. They all have a similar underlying method behind them, slightly different "grammar", and often radically different "words".



It's progressive too. It's very simple to do basic (no pun) stuff, but to make things like a web-browser, you'd need to know much more powerful "methods" of doing things.



After a couple of months you'll certainly be able to understand what's happening in the code, you may just not remember what to type without help - that takes time. (Also why they all come with an EXTENSIVE help system)

Answer 2

Simple - you need to learn how to program, using Visual Basic!



Since Visual Basic is actually a pretty easy language to learn compared to other ones, there are a lot of books and websites that teach beginners how to program using Visual Basic.



To find the websites, go to google.com and search for "learn to program with visual basic online". To find the books, go to Amazon.com and search for "learn to program with visual basic".

Answer 3

Build it from scratch. You need to make the computer make the code into binary, then process it. Then you make an application that could make that code. This answer might be confusing, but the simplist I could describe it.

Answer 4

So are you saying you want to create your own type of computer programming?



Here are some websites that explain it...
