But something happened to my programming experience which would change things drastically. A programmer can put together an application using the components provided with Visual Basic itself. I switched to a different Basic language compiler which was more akin to programming in C in Windows, which forced me to start learning how to work with the WIN32 API's. I dabbled with a number of Basic programming languages such as GFA Basic and CA Realizer, but Visual Basic provided the easiest transition for me. Only do you have native access without that runtime, you also have access to parts of the Windows API that aren't projected into the Windows Runtime (the latter being the set of object APIs that are shared between JavaScript, C#, Visual Basic, and C++). But why should a Visual Basic programmer worry about all this? For instance, to show a window (a form in Visual Basic), to resize a window or to add an item to list box Windows use APIs. I started my Windows 8 programmer career in September 2010, when I moved into my new office at Microsoft, down the hall from the Visual Studio 2012 team and the Windows Library for JavaScript team (WinJS). In this visual basic lesson, we learn how to interact with another underlying set of code by programming the Windows applications interface (API) using dynamic link libraries (DLL). Programs written in Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but doing so requires external function declarations.
