changing career, vb.net to C#
-
Hi, I had a good exposure to C++ during my studies(But surely not an expert). After my studies i got a job in ASP/Vbscript/SQL Server. Because of my family situation i had to accept the offer(My First job). I worked in ASP/VBScript for 5 months. After that our team slowly migrated to VB.NET and as everybody in our team except me wanted to work with VB.NET, we started developing ASP.NET applications in VB.NET. I got my second job in ASP.NET/VB.NET. As i love C++, i was changed to a team developing in ASP.NET/C# with my management's permission. I have been developing using C# for the past 5 months. Now my doubt is about my future careers. If i look for a new job,will they accept my resume. Surely i will look for a job in C#. I know there is not much difference between Vb.net and C#. But i don't know how the employers will react.. Please advice me, Help would be much appreciated. Kas_Aspnet

Knowing one or the other alone could be detrimental -- knowing both can't hurt. There is also a profound difference between real managers (who should be able tell the difference between a respectable programmer and a bulls&*t artist) and recruiters; recruiters are typically trying to pigeonhole you, label you and categorize you as one thing or the other. If possible, avoid HR, recruiters and their ilk and find out who the actual person making the hiring decision is, and talk to that person... hopefully he or she is a sensible person with a technical background who will recognize your ambidexiterity as a benefit. In the market at large, it simply varies from one project to another, from one customer to another; some are dedicated to one language/platform only, whether it is Java, C# or Visual Basic.NET; others could care less, as long as the job gets done and the project is delivered. What a piece of work is man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable . . . and yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? -- Hamlet, Act II, Scene ii.

Thanks very much john. Code project is a place where i could get immediate & proper responses. I am now confident about my career. I am neither a novice nor an expert in coding. The question arose b'coz of my little experience. Thanks John. Kas_Aspnet

I'm a vb.net programmer (although, I've been doing ASP.Net for the last 3 years). I would simply list both on your resume. Most IT managers realize that the difference between vb.net and C# is mostly syntax. I just took a new position doing asp.net with vb.net but I interviewed for C# jobs even though I have barely used it. If you understand object oriented programming switching between the two is really not that difficult. The person intverviewing you should know that. If they don't, do you really want to work for them? "People who never make mistakes, never do anything." My blog http://toddsnotsoamazinglife.blogspot.com/

Hi: You can comfortably list both of them in your resume. Both are based from .NET Framework BCL. Except for syntactical differences and some minor changes, a developer can easily understand a code of another knowingone.

Hi, VB or C# as choice as no matter on the final result but it more a matter of habbit. most of people who previously use C++ goes to C# other goes to VB. The most important think to keep in mind as a developer is all the job to do bfore writiing the first line of code. Whatever the language you will definitly select at the end, the whole analysis and strucutre definition is exactly the same. After this the language is just a maater of syntax nothing else. I recently pass my certification under VB.Net and I could notice that difference are really few on syntaxes compare to c# So don't worry on that, if anyone asl you just tell them waht I was mentioning befoore : Analysis is exactly the same Thanks for help Regards ______________________________ Serge Calderara MCP(XP & VB.NET)
