Is there a Linux programing lang similar to visual basic


Hi

I was wondering if there is a Linux programming language similar to
Microsoft’s Visual Basic. I took a class in college with Visual Basic
and thought it was fun to play with.

Since I’ve switched to Ubuntu I haven’t done any programming and thought
it might be fun to learn a Linux based language.

Your suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
Vanessa

Hey, you can use the .NET platform on Linux and develop all those applications (which you do on VB etc.) using Mono!
