I am currently teaching BTEC IT at a Sixth Form College and have set myself the challenge of learning to code over the summer hols. I am away in a remote area of Sweden for 4 weeks over the summer, with no or limited internet access, and will have with me my extremely portable but incredibly low powered Samsung 500T (Intel Atom 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, Win10).
I am not new to coding, however the last languages I used were BBC Basic and C64 Basic so to say I am rusty would be to vastly understate things.
Anyway, I have bought an ebook for my Kindle (Learn Visual Basic in 8 hours - Visual Basic is what they currently teach where I work), However I am struggling to get an installation of VB working on my 500T - I installed Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition but it ran incredibly, painfully, excruciatingly slowly, so I then managed to find a copy of Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition but it wont run for some unknown reason!
I would just like to get a version of VB to run on my system so I can learn the basics - any help would or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
