== A Brief History of Time and Programming ==
Programming Club, run by [[Mr. Vass]], was originally on every other Wednesday lunch time in [[Room 63]] due to [[Flash Club]] being on at the same time. Nowadays, this club is every Monday lunch.

== What do they do in Programming Club? ==
You guessed it! Programming Club teaches programming (surprise surprise)! To be precise Visual Basic Version 6.0 (often shortened to just VB6) is taught. The latest version of VB is 2010 Express Edition.

== What is Visual Basic ==
Visual basic is an application developed by Microsoft. Basically it is an application for making applications with! It is called Visual Basic because it uses basic, easy to understand and learn programming language and a lot of the programming is done for you, such as inserting a label, putting text in it, the size of the text, the size of the label, etc (which is where the visual comes from and the basic also comes in here again). Although it produces some programming language for you (a major characteristic of 4<sup>th</sup> generation programming languages) it is actually a 3<sup>rd</sup> generation language. Visual Basic can be used to make almost anything: a stop watch; calculate sums; other calculations including quite complex ones including find the mean of a set of numbers; x!; indicies; a toggle bar, etc.
