Hello world!
I'm talking about creating a Visual Basic program using Visual Studio Community 2015.

When you start Visual Studio you're going to see this welcome screen,
and then were going to select new project.
and in the new project window we want to select Visual Basic
You can click these arrows if that is open, click those arrows to open it.
We're going to select a Windows Forms Application.
That's what we're going to be using for most of the projects that we create in these lessons.

I've created a folder called myVisualBasic.
That's a good idea - to always make a folder for the projects.
And then I'm going to name this helloworld, 
because that's usually the first project that we create in any language.
and it says create directory for solution.
You certainly want to do that!
After we give it a name and select the directory we're going to click OK.

When our project opens, you'll see this form...
and the form is where you're going to put all of your controls as we go along.
We could run this right now.
When it runs you see that's a real Windows application.
You can resize it, we could maximize, it minimize it, and we can close it.

What we want to do in order to make it say hello world...
is open our properties so I'm going to select VIEW
and properties window (You can't see that.)  
Or F4 could also open that up.
You may want to remember some of those hot keys,
because we need to go back to this a lot.

We have a number of different properties 
They might be sorted in some categories.
I think in the beginning it's easier to do that if you put them into alphabetical order.
Let's go down here, and text property is one that we can change
I'm going to type in Hello World.
And as soon as I hit enter, you see the words Hello World.
Over here as the title for that form.

Let's go up. and we'll also change BackColor.
When you open up BackColor,  you see System colors, Web, and Custom.
And we go to custom we can pick a nice color for the form.
Run that again, and now we have displayed the words "Hello World."

We can close that, and the next thing you want to do is pick FILE, Save All.
And that's it!
