Re: VB vs C#

Michel,

Just that I saw it, change your Fortran advice to the C# part. Fortran was a
kind of less complex language in the same area as Algol. Both based on
algebraic way of describing processes.

Cobol is surely not derived from Fortran, there have been heavier
discussiong between Fortan and Cobol people than there ever can be between C
and VB types of languages.

Well for previous VB6 proggers i would definedly say move to VB.Net , buy
the Balena books ( programming microsoft visual basic series i would
still buy the 2003 and 2005 version )
as they have special attention for VB6 proggers an in a few days you wil
at least feel at home :-)

If you would like to earn more money , or beat yourself on the chest that
you are a C style progger well then go for C# you wil now have a much
higher learning curve but once you code in C# and with your VB6 background
VB.Net is peanuts , on the other hand when you code in VB.net with
option strict on and option explicit on ( wich i would highly recomend you
do ) and try to use as much as possible FCL code instead of the language
enhancement code that VB provides ( len() vs string.length etc etc )
well then reading and writing C# code is also peanuts

So my recomendation previous language derived from Algol ( C++ ,
elphi ) go for C#
previous language derived from Fortran
( Cobol , Basic ) go for VB.Net


As you see this hole discussion goes back to the start of programming ,
and wich one is better ??? well it is probably the same thing as saying
that Ferrari is bether as Lamborghini and should be seen as a personal
preference .

regards

Michel Posseth (
Can code in both but just prefer VB as it is my native tongue :-) )
