OLD OLD OLD!!! Older than Henry Minute!

I know it's old - but the lounge was a bit "tumble-weed" this morning and I was bored!

A Visual Basic programmer happens across a frog in the road. The frog pipes up, "I'm really a beautiful princess and if you kiss me, I'll stay with you for a week". The programmer shrugs his shoulders and puts the frog in his pocket. A few minutes later, the frog says "OK, OK, if you kiss me, I'll give you great sex for a week". The programmer nods and puts the frog back in his pocket. A few minutes later, "Turn me back into a princess and I'll give you great sex for a whole year!". The programmer smiles and walks on. Finally, the frog says, "What's wrong with you? I've promised you great sex for a year from a beautiful princess and you won't even kiss a frog?" "I'm a Visual Basic programmer," he replies. "I don't have sex....but a talking frog is pretty neat."

Designed and implimented a retail banking system in VB a few years back currently work on a trading platform with a lot of VB front end components. So yes, I can write VB, but I prefer Java or C# poking an eye out with a shitty stick [ftfms].

Well, if you are forced to use VB, you can always do like this:
Dim code;
code = "#include <stdafx.h>" & vbCRLF & _
"int main()" & vbCRLF & _
"{" & vbCRLF & _
" // ... " & vbCRLF & _
"}" & vbCRLF' TODO: RUN C Compiler

I think we need clarification on the direction of the dependency.

A talking frog I can digest. But a Visual Basic programmer! What is this? Some kind of sick perverted joke? :mad:

I dunno... Have you ever tried frog legs? I heard they're pretty nasty... Now imagine them talking to you on the way down.

Yep, lots of trading software written in VB... Funny thing... If I hadn't put VB6 on my resume, back when I graduated college, I never would have gotten the job that started my career on wall street... Started out maintaining and updating old VB6 and Excel VBA systems... Then, once I had proven myself, I rewrote most of it in C# :)

Yeah, now I understand. You're not doing VB for money. You're doing VB for a lot of money.
see, it pays to have low standards to exceed.

Many programmers use several languages. The favorite language at home, the project language at work, some horrible languages for maintenance, and - in the worst case - VB for a job that was better than staying unemployed. That means, you can be a programmer, but still be forced to use VB.
This statement is false.
