Ok, right now I am learning c++. But until then, is there any programming languages or is it possible to program visual basics with ubuntu.

Please and thank you's!

As you most likely know VB is windows only, although if you use the wine application you can run a large number of VB programs on *nix. According to wine's appdb VB6 (the IDE) also works through wine (minus some ActiveX controls). Of course coding in C++ or Java would just be a much better solution.

If you were talking about VB.NET (or any .NET), then look at the mono project to run those applications on *nix.

realBASIC is cross-platform, but you can compile programs for windows and Linux only in the paid-for version (which sucks)

i suggest you install windows xp IN Ubuntu, there is a program to do that, but i dont remember what :S, but i dont think all ActiveX plugins works with that…
