Returning to Visual Basic

[j***@gmail.com]

Good day,
I purchased a new computer and wanted to install Visual basic Express.
During the process I noted that Visual Basic is no longer offered and I then got redirected to a Visual Studio 2017 download site. I now have Visual Studio 2017 installed on my Start page. When I started the program a "start page" is shown with the options: Get started, Open, Recent, and New Project.

I thought I read somewhere that I could still program in VB through Visual Studio. If this is possible how do I get to the VB ide? As you can see I'm a newbee and I thank you for your patience in advance.

When you start a new project you are given the option as to
what language you want to use. Just choose the VB option. I
don't recall just how that is presented, but it is there.

And there may be somebody who will jump up and tell you this is
a VB6 newsgroup. Don't worry too much about them.

It *is* a worry if nobody here can answer questions about VB.Net since it's a
completely different language.
