me.Fairly significant which is why you shouldn't bother with VB 6.0 if you
plan on moving to 2005.<<<
That's kind of what I thought, but I wanted to ask to see if it was just
Thanks for the response.
If I were you I'd also be researching the issue in terms
of what you might want to work on and also in terms
of where things might be headed in the future, both in
terms of programming and in terms of operating systems.
You haven't said anything about *what* you want to program.
For compiled, distributable software there's VB, C++,
Delphi, etc. Then there's Java, Mono and .Net - a whole
different approach that's geared toward in-house web-based
software and poorly suited for "desktop" software.
(They're easily decompiled and the dependencies are
gigantic.)
....And of course, increasingly there's Linux.
I'm not an expert on different languages, but I know
enough to know that there are very different strengths
and weaknesses, apart from various programming fashions.
In this group we've got a lot of VB6 programmers, most
of whom are not using .Net and many of whom are angry
at Microsoft's tactics (specifically with MS trying to break
VB). We've also got a handful of .Net fetishist trolls who
have no business being here, but who chime in with their
sales pitches with such regularity that it's reasonable to
assume they're being paid by Microsoft to hang around here
marketing .Net.
That's the scenario you walked into, with a VB.Net CD
and a question. :)
