asked where to get Visual Basic for free. Replies above were short; the practical, up-to-date paths are below so learners can get a working VB environment and start coding quickly.

The easiest all-in-one way is Visual Studio Community, a full IDE that includes Visual Basic support and is free for individual learning, students, and small teams. It installs the designer, debugger, and project templates needed for desktop and console VB projects. (See Visual Studio Community.)

A lighter alternative is Visual Studio Code plus the .NET SDK. That combination works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. After installing the SDK, a minimal VB console app can be created with:
dotnet new console -lang VB
and run with
dotnet run
(Downloads and SDKs are at dotnet downloads and the editor at Visual Studio Code.)

For learning resources and language reference, use Microsoft Learn’s Visual Basic docs which cover syntax, projects, and migration topics: Visual Basic documentation. If the goal is maintaining very old VB6 projects, note that VB6 is legacy and modern tooling focuses on VB.NET; planning a migration or using a licensed legacy IDE in a controlled VM is the safer route. Also check licensing notes on the Visual Studio pages before using any product in a commercial environment.

This gives a current, practical starting point beyond the brief replies in the thread from and .
