VB Compilers are easy to get. Frankly, you could get away with pirating it, but just for legalitie's sake, I don't condone it.  |

Why?
Because it's made by Bill VADER. Or Darth GATES.
Exactly. Plus, .Net adds shit that obfuscates any language it touches. |

The Visual Basic .net compiler is free, and comes with the .net SDK I think. But it's just the command line compiler tool, not the fancy thing that lets you draw your forms. |

It doesn't support normal bog standard VB though, only the object orientated version, VB .net.
Not that I am saying that this is a bad thing. |

Oh, I know it's not hard. I learned how to use it in about four hours, with no previous Java experience (only C++), and I just keep teaching myself as I go. That's why I suggested it  Plus, NetBeans makes it very easy once you learn your way around the IDE. |

Swing isn't really that hard, Jagori. Besides, there is BreezySwing, which makes GUI coding a mite easier. Not exactly point 'n' click like VB, but anything worth doing is worth actually working for. |

If you know (or are willing to learn) Java, Netbeans IDE is a good way to do GUI. After I figured out the Netbeans interface, which is a little strange to begin, the thought crossed my mind that it was like VB, only in Java. That is to say, you can create a form, and drag-and-drop buttons, text boxes, etc. onto it and it handles all the code for them. It's a little less simple than VB, but I'd say it's more powerful. Plus, it's free! The only problem is that Netbeans is a little resource-intensive. If you have a fast computer ( 1+ GHz ) it won't be a problem. |

I remember finding one online (forget the name), but I think it was VB4 or something similarly ancient. So yeah, your best bet is to acquire the real thing. |
