QBasic vs. The Crypt Keeper vs. VBScript vs. Visual Basic Comparison Chart

We started programming this software back in 1992 for Liberty Township in Ohio. That original software was DOS based written using QuickBasic and used the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application as the mapping utility. That very first account came with a caveat, however. They also paid us to input all their records from a very old moldy book that had faded ink... no easy task, so we know all too well the pain involved with inputting records. With absolutely zero advertising budget, and no real internet to speak of at the time, it began to spread by simply word of mouth. I don't have an exact count of the number of cemeteries that use our desktop and online software, but the number is in the several hundreds by estimate. Of course, when you cater to the small church or county cemetery and you don't advertise, you can't expect high volumes. Our growth has continued to be by word of mouth and google searches.

Visual Basic is an object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. Using Visual Basic makes it fast and easy to create type-safe .NET apps. Visual Basic focuses on supplying more of the features of the Visual Basic Runtime (microsoft.visualbasic.dll) to .NET Core and is the first version of Visual Basic focused on .NET Core. Many portions of the Visual Basic Runtime depend on WinForms and these will be added in a later version of Visual Basic. .NET is a free, open-source development platform for building many kinds of apps. With .NET, your code and project files look and feel the same no matter which type of app you're building. You have access to the same runtime, API, and language capabilities with each app. A Visual Basic program is built up from standard building blocks. A solution comprises one or more projects. A project in turn can contain one or more assemblies. Each assembly is compiled from one or more source files.
