Hi everyone,
I have a dilemma and I hope you could bring me some guidelines
I want to develop some in-house software(s) at my work, to save everyone
time and energy spent on the wrong repetitive tasks. To do so I have start
learning a programming language, and the options seem endless.
Java, C, C++, VB, C#, Delphi, etc... I'm receiving opinions left and right
all better than an other.
So far, I think I will go somewhere in the .NET environment, but from which
angle ? VB, C# or C++
Since this is a VB newsgroup, I would like to know the pros of learning
VB instead of the two others ?
Thank you very much for your input
Ray
P.S. So far I learn: Javascript, HTML plus a very small knowledge of VB6 7 1447
Whats your motivation ?, If its money, I would check out your local job
market and see what skill pays most. If its prestige, then go for C++ and
become a ++ Ninja Mutant Coder, if you want an easy route in, choose VB, or
a little bit tougher, choose C#.

I would go with VB, because it has the easiest and most
friendly Graphical user interfrace which will make your

AFAIK C# programmers are better paid than VB.NET programmers.
Nevertheless, I would prefer VB.NET.

Can you better define where these "wrong repetitive tasks" are?
If they are in a Microsoft Office Product I would suggest you learn how to
write Macros in the respective product using VBA. However ever a COM Add-in
in VB6 may be more appropriate or if you are using Office 2003, using
VStools may be the better solution.
If they are at the OS level, you may want to consider JScript or VBScript
files or even just a plain batch file.
Depending on where the tasks are really & what the tasks are generally will
make a huge difference on what language should be used!
Remember its not always wise to try to adopt a language to a problem, most
of the time specific problems are better handled with specific languages. It
may even be that you need more then one language.
Hope this helps

Hi Hholiday,
I have basicly almost the same idea about your question as Jay B . If they are in a Microsoft Office Product I would suggest you learn how to write Macros in the respective product using VBA.
That will mostly give quick results where your collegues are very happy
with.
Do you want to go in the programming business, or just want to try it, than
you can start with C# or VB.net.
Do you like the program logic from JavaScript more than VB6. Take C# as
first.
Do you like the natural language from VB6 more than JavaScript. Take VB.net
as first.
Just my thoughts.
Cor
If all look to you the same, te languages I mean, VB will require
less investment as you can buy a .NET version that only has VB.

From what I've noticed, VB is used to get something up and running fast.
However, I think C# has more flexibility. Personally, I like VB because it
looks like Microsoft is really pushing this to be their main language.
