I’ve finally tackled cleaning out my attic, and look what I found—pieces of programming history! It’s like a mini-museum up here, and you can actually own these vintage gems (instead of me tossing them). Don’t procrastinate—these items won’t last long!

Plus, with every purchase, I’ll throw in some exclusive dotNetDave tour swag, including a custom guitar pick, posters, stickers, and more—while supplies last!

Programming

Here are the programming software and manuals.

Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition 3.0

Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition 3.0, released in 1993, is a programming environment designed for developing Windows applications using the Visual Basic language. This version introduced a more sophisticated integrated development environment (IDE) with enhanced features for form design, event-driven programming, and access to Windows API functions. It included a rich set of controls, improved debugging tools, and support for Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). Additionally, Visual Basic 3.0 allowed developers to create standalone executables, making it easier to distribute applications. This edition was widely praised for its user-friendly interface and rapid application development capabilities.
