Okay don't get mad at me for this but, if VB is the same as BASIC, that stands for: Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. If it is the same than I would say it is a beginners language.
Also what exactly is .net? Is it a compiler or what?

If you ever need a hug, just ask.
Ohh boy.. You must be an absolute noobie.. (sorry there..).. You think that VB is beter since they teach you that crap in college ( they do it even hereOriginally posted by bookworm
I had learnt a couple of old languages such as Basic and Pascal in school.In my vacations,I tried my hand at newer and better ones.Before learning C++,I learnt HTML,then JAVA and now I'm kicking off with VB.net.I do stick to my statement that C++ is a beginner's language.HTML is child's play.JAVA,though vast,is stuck to the internet browser.But JAVA and C++ introduce functions,classes,pointers etc.VB takes u a step forward and teaches u GUI apps.VC++.net is not as powerful as VB.net.This can be proved by comparing prices on their related books,software etc.Also,my university too,teaches in the same order,web development(including HTML,XML,JAVA),C++,VB,Solaris and so on.) And you seem to be braging that you know JAVA, HTML etc etc.. but the knowledge you have gained seems too childish.. WHat do you mean that JAVA is stuck to browsers.. have you ever herd about JAVA servlets, Beans, RMI etc.. Which are still greatly used in server side programming... What you have learnt in each of the languages you have stated are jsut basics.. and VB is for kids.. You can write your own VB compiler using C++ (but not with the knowledge you have gained..)... using C++ you can develop and complete operating system which can run your stupid VB... (sorry again...). The only thing you can do in VB is drag and drop to get the GUI you want.. You dont know whats happening behind the hood.. Many people consider VB to be justy a pseudo code...
My recpemndation to you would be,, that you learn C++ or some real language..
Although, I think C++ is better, don't diss VB6. Its a great language, you can do many, many things in it. You can do basically everything you can do in C++ but just in COM-mindset and no pointers (except for references). You can subclass WinAPI controls, create new ones, make a GUI programmactically, develop a server, a database, make games in it (granted, not as fast). And oh yea, I should add its only 20% slower than C++ which is great because its easier to learn and use.
Programming languages are good for their specific uses, lets not diss them, instead, learn them and use them.
But, I definatly DISAGREE that C++ is a begineers language. It surely is not. Its one of the most complex languages out there.
VB is not for kids. Most corporations use it to develop their applications fast and easy. They don't have the time to spend forever making controls in C++. What about all the macros in Office that are used to make reports, queries, etc? VB for Applications.
do you mean to say that you can develop a DBMS using VB.. like Oracle.. you must be out of your mind..
hell no, lol
thanks for the info Speedy5. Not that I don't like windows. I just hate how fast stuff changes. Hard to keep up
