| Well? Who has done some. It has begun... Now look at the online vacancies and compare them to a couple of months ago: they are seeking a range from having already done commercial projects with .NET (high paid jobs) to the possibility of future training and introduction to it (nicely paid salaries). My CV now boldly states the desired position to be: Software developer for Windows platform preferably introducing .NET technologies. Have you dabbled? Have you already experience with it? Have you attended MS beta exams? How much have you already done? Share your thoughts. | |

| Im about to gte the VB.Net book and see what I can learn from it, although I wont beable to put .net commercial experience, I will at least know what it is  | |

| I've taken a VB .Net beta exam, studying for 3 other betas and have already been doing .net (commercial) development. I wrote an app for online ordering and am currently writing an app for a client's internal system.
Don't tell Microsoft this, but knowing java and jsp really has helped. | |

| yeah I can see similiarities with Java - I played around with the Forte IDE for a couple of weeks - the JIT compilation, the sandboxing tendencies, the web services etc. these are all similiar but we note that Java got there first. hard_coder, you are somewhat an exception to the rule - a recent poll suggests that 10% of VB developers in the US have had experience of .NET but most of this is not/not yet for commercial purposes. Most VB developers are going for C# and not VB.NET opinion being that the transition from VB 6.0 to .NET is about the same in scope to C#. Also, C# is better supported by Microsoft and there are more samples online and elsewhere. I've also heard - but don't quote me on this - that the compiler is better optimised for C#. It is a peculiar thing for those people who like having their teeth pulled out, but I have seen no mention of C++ .NET at the Microsoft site certification requirements for MCSD .NET. | |

| Yeah, the C# language is everywhere. We do Vb .Net (and ASp .Net) here at the shop, and will continue to do so. As I study for the .Net beta exams, I've noticed that some of the books lean more towards C#. I've been knee deep in reading a web services for the .net platform book and it has most of its examples in C# - so I do the examples in C# first to see how it works then do it in VB syntax. When I go to take the test, I will take the VB centric tests. The concepts are the same, just the syntax will be different. |
