Visual Basic Question - Lazydude2000 - 11-19-2009

I have some questions about VB

What is the difference between Visual Basics and Visual Basic.NET?

Would Visual Basics be a good starting programming language to start out as?

I would recommend .NET, or even better C# but that's my view.
.NET is basically an Upgraded version of VB....


RE: Visual Basic Question - Lazydude2000 - 11-19-2009

Ok and C would be more beneficial than .NET?

Well I'm not really sure about that because I don't code in VB .net that much...
But only differences between the two languages I've seen is the different syntax.
Not Basic like but more C/++ like.


RE: Visual Basic Question - Lazydude2000 - 11-19-2009

One last questions

and would it be easier to learn .NET then move to C#?

You have been great help


RE: Visual Basic Question - Gaijin - 11-19-2009

No you shouldn't have problems, you can choose which every you like and later just translate you scripts in the second language.

I believe vb.net is easier and better if you are starting now.


RE: Visual Basic Question - Nonmod - 12-10-2009

go for vb.net - .net is future for windows platform.
why dont choose vb6?beacuse,it was built loong time ago,where was no multi-core cpus,nice guis,hardocre gpu's and stuff like that.
