Although it has been 10 years since Codeproject was launched, it was 2 weeks before that I heard of it. However, I have gained a lot of knowledge since then. I have a liitle comment about the memebers though. It seems that they all prefere C# to VB .Net. Don't think this is unfair. T. Mik

Well, nothing you can do about that. I don't really think it matters, I feel like most members prefer C# because new people who switch have a background in C,C++ or Java. This makes them swing (no pun intended) to C# because the syntax is relatively comparable to the aforementioned languages, making the switch easier.

Fair or not, it's the way of the world and has nothing to do with Code Project membership, and as sweeping generalisations go, you made a doozy there. CP has a fair number of VB.NET developers, as well as C++, PHP and the likes.

Life isn't fair. VB (and it's slightly cuter cousin VB.Net) is a girly cream puff language, guaranteed to make you whine and suck your thumb. Real programmers don't touch it unless it's foisted on them via work. VB is the chick-flick equivalent of the programming world. Ruby is the chick-lit equivalent.

It’s not the syntax that matters; you could switch to Object Pascal which is with a different syntax without learning curve penalty. But the way you think and program in these languages is relatively the same.

You may have a point, but the argument still exists that similar syntax may lure programmers to C# over VB.Net to the assumption of a lesser learning curve because of the familiar syntax.

First off I have to admit I have not spent much time familiarizing myself with VB.NET as C# was the logical choice for me. I did some VB back in the day, and it is my impression that the VB in VB.NET has gone through a serious "C-ifying" procedure. I do think I had less hassle learning C# (which was somewhat new to me, I hadn't done C since me and Christ were young) than I would have had learning VB.NET if I came from a VB background. Just my theory, which normally means it is terribly flawed. //L
