Encourage for VB

[iota]

Hi masters,

The programmers in my country don't encourage us to learn VB.Net at a greater length. So how do you recommend us?

Thank you so much for your recommendation.

The who the what now??

C# is better than VB. :p

Really ? So what about J# ?


By the way, VB.Net 2005 can run faster in Pentium4 processor ?
Framework Version 2(64bit) also?
When I installed 64bit Longhorn pro-release version , it really runs slow .

I avoid the whole managed [insert microsoft technology] language like the plague. I have dabbled in C# but I did not like it. C++ is perfect for me. But it all comes down to the task at hand and as a developer you need to determine what is the most effecient method to produce parts/all of a project. Or you can be stubborn like me, or mad like me: Use C++ for everything, and when something is small you find a way to make it big enough to use C++ and then you make it even bigger so it includes a scripting language and quite possibly a dozen different file formats uneccesarily (this is my biggest problem, but it's just so much fun!).

You mean VB isn't not better than C++. We, students, doubt that VB can create very very big big things.
Thank you so much for your wise recommendation.

Thank you so much for your wise recommendation.In my experience, programming languages have gotten to the point that the more you know the better off you are. Programming is now more of a toolbox, there will be a right tool and a wrong tool, i.e. - You wouldn't use a hammer to drive a screw.

To that point, I wouldn't completely draw a line and say that programming language x is better than programming language y. Rather I would say that programming language x works better in this situation than programming language y. As it was pointed out before, it really depends upon what your program is going to do and how it is going to accomplish it.

All in all, what you can ultimately do in one language can often times be adopted to another language. At that point your main focus is, which code will execute more effectively, efficiently and is easier overall to code (overhead).

HTH,
