What is vb
It's a beer, but not many people drink it. Seriously, how can this be a serious question ? If you don't know what it is, you obviously are not a programmer, so why ask here ?

I think you mean "unless you like trying to figure out where the heck you're missing that curly bracket". :) Visual Basic an excellent programming language that is popular with beginners and experts alike because it's easy to understand, and has a very English-like syntax. All while still having the power of the .NET framework at its disposal. Visual Basic is also very good for rapid application development thanks to the very well thought out Visual Studio IDE. -Ray Phillips
It's probably a matter of taste (you have none ;P ). I don't like having to write out sentences to tell a computer what to do when I can just use notes (comparatively). Besides, the IDE highlights and indents brackets automatically, so it's not that big a deal

It's a version of Beginnering All Symbolic Instruction Code

Most .net is the same between the two really, the following is shorter in vb Select Case number Case 0 'do something Case 1 'do something Case 2 'do something Case 3 'do something End Select I prefer the case insensitivity in vb, strSomething and strsomething should NOT be different, it is not obvious enough when your flying through the code that someone else wrote. And obvious errors are the easiest to discover. See: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Wrong.html[^]
