Why take a class where you learn about stuff that happened hundreds of years ago or algebra rules that haven't changed for centuries,
when you can take VISUAL BASIC where you learn up-to-date technology useful for iPhones, Wii, Facebook, & Xbox ?

Why take a class where you wonder if you sometimes ask "Will I ever really need to know this stuff?"
when you can take VISUAL BASIC where you learn things that help you every time you log into a computer or use a cellphone?

Why take a class where you tediously copy notes off the chalkboard,
when you can take VISUAL BASIC where the notes and interactive examples are on the teacher's website?

Why take a class where you have to bring a textbook to class every day and read it for homework,
when you can take VISUAL BASIC where there is no textbook?

Why take a class where you will get detention for playing computer games,
when you can take VISUAL BASIC where you create and play your own computer games?

If you want to learn how to make a Facebook application, & create games for a computer, Android & iPhone smartphones, or Xbox,

sign up for VISUAL BASIC PROGRAMMING I and II (#504 & 505) !!!!!

If you don't believe me, see the reasons former students urge you to take the course on our class wiki at

Oh yeah, taking Visual Basic also improves your logic & analytical skills, leads to AP college credit & GPA bonus points when you take the following AP Java course, gives you better job opportunities, & makes you an invaluable friend & family member who can fix all kinds of computer problems! Parents should see this page for reasons why their child should take this great course.

Also, you can take Visual Basic Programming (#504 & 505) instead of the required 9th grade course Applied Computers I (#501).

The games below are just some of the hundreds of games created by students in Mr. Minich's computer classes at Wyomissing Area High School.
