See the keywords in VB.NET. Keywords are used in declarations and statements.
Keywords. Programs combine parts. VB.NET has many keywords. We learn the meaning of these keywords. We then combine them into higher-level constructs and programs.
Functions. The VB.NET language provides built-in functions that convert types. These are often implemented with other .NET Framework constructs.AscChrModVal
Algorithms. Here we combine data structures and functions to achieve complex tasks. An algorithm is a well-known (or complex) method.Algorithm: FibonacciAlgorithm: Levenshtein
Contextual. Some keywords are used together (For and Each). They change meaning when used part of a larger construct. And some words (like from LINQ) are contextual and not listed above.
Many keywords, like SyncLock, are narrow in their utility. VB.NET retains older language terms like "Mid" and "Date." These have been replaced with newer .NET Framework methods.
With this language, we access the full power of the .NET Framework. Many programs are written in VB.NET. A developer who understands VB.NET is in a good position.
