Author C++ versus VB

I've been so brainwashed with .NET that I've forgotten al
the rest ;-)

But indeed, Microsoft is closing down the old MCSD-track.

So if you're going for the old track i would advice you to
take the C++ course, this really has more market value.
But if you're going for the new track the options are all
open for you. You will propably have as much trouble going
from VB to VB.NET as you will have going from C++ to C#.
Although a lot of people think differently about it, i
think there is not much difference between VB.NET and C#.
Sure, C# can do a few tricks more than VB, but you will
hardly ever use them.

Good luck on your choice!
