Overview

The Raspberry Pi 3 and Visual Basic is a book about which shows code examples for the Windows 10 IoT Core operating system. Visual Basic is a very viable programming language used in Visual Studio 2017. I found there was no examples when I started, and wanted to share some examples and in-site into using Visual Studio 2017 and Visual basic. I am hoping this will somewhat revive Visual Basic where some of us have spend a lot of time. The book has examples for writing/reading/creating files, doing a basic Hello Pi, using a timer, MS SQL and Server access. There are also examples teaching you how to use the GPIO-General Purpose Input Output. Electronic output on the Raspberry Pi is the thing that makes this a great tool. You can program lights to go on and off by monitoring switches and screen touches. From here, you can do just about anything you want with the electronics functions of the Pi.
