    Well, maybe he uses VB and he is a programmer. But that doesn't mean he is a "VB programmer". ;)

    This statement is false.

        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

                          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# :)

                                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.
