Definition - What does Visual Basic Script (VBScript) mean? Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is a component-based scripting language developed by Microsoft. It is a light version of Visual Basic with a fast interpreter for use on Microsoft platforms. VBScripts use the Component Object Model (COM) to access the features of the environment where they are running.
VB or Visual Basic is a programming language developed by Microsoft with the help of Alan Cooper and was first released in May 1991. Visual Basic was designed with the beginner programmer in mind and for programmers who needed to develop visual elements in their programs. In Visual Basic, users can drag and reposition visual elements like windows, buttons, and forms and then create events and triggers for those elements. Since its release, there were a total of six different versions of Visual Basic released (1.0, 1.0 for MS-DOS, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0).
