    Advantages of VB.

    NET
    The following are the pros/benefits you will enjoy for coding in VB.NET:

     Your code will be formatted automatically.


     You will use object-oriented constructs to create an enterprise-class code.
     You can create web applications with modern features like performance counters, event
    logs, and file system.
     You can create your web forms with much ease through the visual forms designer. You
    will also enjoy drag and drop capability to replace any elements that you may need.
     You can connect your applications to other applications created in languages that run on
    the .NET framework.
     You will enjoy features like docking, automatic control anchoring, and in-place menu
    editor all good for developing web applications.

    Disadvantages of VB.NET
    Below are some of the drawbacks/cons associated with VB.NET:

     VB.NET cannot handle pointers directly. This is a significant disadvantage since pointers
    are much necessary for programming. Any additional coding will lead to many CPU
    cycles, requiring more processing time. Your application will become slow.
     VB.NET is easy to learn. This has led to a large talent pool. Hence, it may be challenging
    to secure a job as a VB.NET programmer.

    An integrated development environment (IDE) is software for building applications that


    combines common developer tools into a single graphical user interface (GUI). An IDE typically
    consists of:

     Source code editor: A text editor that can assist in writing software code with features
    such as syntax highlighting with visual cues, providing language specific auto-
    completion, and checking for bugs as code is being written.
     Local build automation: Utilities that automate simple, repeatable tasks as part of
    creating a local build of the software for use by the developer, like compiling computer
    source code into binary code, packaging binary code, and running automated tests.
     Debugger: A program for testing other programs that can graphically display the location
    of a bug in the original code.

    An IDE allows developers to start programming new applications quickly because


    multiple utilities don’t need to be manually configured and integrated as part of the setup
    process. Developers also don’t need to spend hours individually learning how to use
    different tools when every utility is represented in the same workbench. This can be
    especially useful for onboarding new developers who can rely on an IDE to get up to
    speed on a team’s standard tools and workflows. In fact, most features of IDEs are meant
    to save time, like intelligent code completion and automated code generation, which
    removes the need to type out full character sequences.
    Other common IDE features are meant to help developers organize their
    workflow and solve problems. IDEs parse code as it is written, so bugs caused by human
    error are identified in real-time. Because utilities are represented by a single GUI,
    developers can execute actions without switching between applications. Syntax
    highlighting is also common in most IDEs, which uses visual cues to distinguish
    grammar in the text editor. Some IDEs additionally include class and object browsers, as
    well as class hierarchy diagrams for certain languages.
    It is possible to develop applications without an IDE, or for each developer to
    essentially build their own IDE by manually integrating various utilities with a
    lightweight text editor like Vim or Emacs. For some developers the benefit of this
    approach is the ultra-customization and control it offers. In an enterprise context, though,
    the time saved, environment standardization, and automation features of modern IDEs
    usually outweigh other considerations.

    Popular kinds of IDEs


    There are many different technical and business use cases for IDEs, which likewise means there
    are many proprietary and open source IDE options on the market. Typically, the most important
    differentiating characteristics between IDEs are:

     The number of supported languages: Some IDEs are dedicated to one language, and so
    are a better match for a specific programming paradigm. IntelliJ, for instance, is known
    primarily as a Java IDE. Other IDEs have a broad array of supported languages all in one,
    like the Eclipse IDE which supports Java, XML, Python, and others.
     Supported operating system(s): A developer’s operating system will constrain which
    IDEs are viable (unless an IDE is cloud-based), and if the application being developed is
    intended for an end user with a specific operating system (like Android or iOS), this may
    be an additional constraint.
     Automation features: Even though most IDEs include the 3 key features of a text editor,
    build automation, and debugger, many include support for additional features like
    refactoring, code search, and continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD)
    tools.
     Impact on system performance: An IDE’s memory footprint may be important to
    consider if a developer wants to run other memory-intensive applications concurrently.
     Plugins and extensions: Some IDEs include the ability to customize workflows to match
    a developer’s needs and preferences.

    VB.Net is an object-oriented programming language. In Object-Oriented Programming


    methodology, a program consists of various objects that interact with each other by means of
    actions. The actions that an object may take are called methods. Objects of the same kind are
    said to have the same type or, more often, are said to be in the same class.
    When we consider a VB.Net program, it can be defined as a collection of objects that
    communicate via invoking each other's methods. Let us now briefly look into what do class,
    object, methods and instance variables mean.
     Object − Objects have states and behaviors. Example: A dog has states - color, name,
    breed as well as behaviors - wagging, barking, eating, etc. An object is an instance of a
    class.
     Class − A class can be defined as a template/blueprint that describes the behaviors/states
    that objects of its type support.
     Methods − A method is basically a behavior. A class can contain many methods. It is in
    methods where the logics are written, data is manipulated and all the actions are executed.
     Instance Variables − Each object has its unique set of instance variables. An object's
    state is created by the values assigned to these instance variables.

    Identifiers

    An identifier is a name used to identify a class, variable, function, or any other user-defined item.
    The basic rules for naming classes in VB.Net are as follows −
     A name must begin with a letter that could be followed by a sequence of letters, digits (0 -
    9) or underscore. The first character in an identifier cannot be a digit.
     It must not contain any embedded space or symbol like ? - +! @ # % ^ & * ( ) [ ] { } . ; : "
    ' / and \. However, an underscore ( _ ) can be used.
     It should not be a reserved keyword.
