Hey Lou, Sorry to have pounced on VB so much, although it was purely based upon what I have heard. Actually, in think it was just brought up very recently on another thread in this list.
Believe me, if I had heard more positive things about it, and it was more popular (for getting a future job) - I would have seriously considered it. Nothing I would have liked better than going to a language that harks back to the good ole days - since I started out with BASIC back in 1980 in high school. Its what basically got me started - and kinda led me to where I am today (whether that's Good or Bad, that's debatable!)... One thing I heard, if I remember right - as I don't remember where I read it - that VB seems not to be as much truly object-oriented as something like C#. And, I think that was one of the complaints that someone had made about VB. -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lou Syracuse Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 11:12 AM IMHO it is not so much that VB.Net is BAD per se, rather that C# has become more mainstream. I've done quite a bit of work with VB.Net over the years and found it to be an easier transition from VFP. But there is much more C# work out there to be had, and you'll find far more code samples written in C# than VB online as well as in printed booiks. For anyone getting into .NET I would recommend C#, but don't feel VB is _that_ bad an option either. I'm learning C# and intend to use it going forward. As always, YMMV Lou -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Wendt ... The one reason I am considering C#/.Net is that the co. I work for already owns Visual Studio. As such, there is no extra costs for me to try and develop with it. Maybe I could even use something else within the Studio - although NOT VB - since I've heard too much bad stuff about that. ... _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a140e260...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
