| C#'ll be the ultimate programming langugage provided by M$. If you're a newbie in programming, go for VB (.net or not doesn't matter). But almost always keep in mind that you're only learning VB inorder to get a good understanding of programming. Once you've done with the basics, then move on to C#.
C++ is more powerful but less user-friendly than VB. VB, on the other hand, is more user-friendly but less powerful than C++.
C# is the combination of both, power and easiness.
M$ knows how to get our money. But as long as they can give us something worth our money, then that'll be fine.

| Agreed. VB and its relatives are good for light stuff and maybe teacing you how to program, but if you want to really be able to code and do some rough stuff, you need to learn C/C++/C#. If you know one of these by the way, the others will come fairly quickly. They are very similar in many respects. | |

| Hey dont forget "Java" , although performance wise C++ is still the undisputed champ. Java still is powerfull and MS poses a real challange with their .NET platform. I'm sure SUN is cookin some thing. But yea, currently C# should be the aim. | |

Personally, I have never liked Java, but it is one of the more important languages nowadays. The OOP concepts will take a while to get used to, but I think it is actually more manageable than C++, having a generally smaller instruction set. However, if you know C/C++/C#, Java will be fairly easy to learn. FOr those of you starting out in programming, NONE of these languages are really suitable . . . . they are forpeople who have some programming experience. If you are a total newbie, I suggest cutting your teeth on someting simpler like the Bash shell or Python. |
