Re: Success of VB

You know the big problem with such a culture is that it makes getting a job
very difficult. I come form a hobbiest background (my degree is in
Mathematics not CS) and can't seem to get an interview to save my life. I
understand that the emplyers are just afraid that my 15 years of experiance
(as a hobbiest) amount to unstructured experiance and imagine that am a poor
risk. Yet I can assure you (and them) that those 15 years have been well
spent. I may have always been about a decade behind state-of-the art (I can
only use what I can afford) but I am a solid programmer nonetheless. I just
need to find a way to convey that. Not so great at selling myself.

I guess I will give up on defending VB. I suppose that I like it because I
work just was well in C/C++, or Java, and found that its limitations were
just "challenges" to be faced.
