Long fan of Classic VB6. While you are in the happy path, you fly. But if you try something outside that, it's almost impossible.

But there are a lot of real world problems that can be solved with a form and a few buttons, and you look like a magician for normal people.

I still have one project in production, but the compiler is getting harder and harder to install.

Anyway, there is room for beginers tools, in spite they may have a tall second step.

Is there a good tutorial for upgrading from Arduino to a proffesional microcontroler? (Or you can write one.)
