So, I am considering learning a new programming language...

Gregory Smith

I am currently programming in VB, and am considering learning C#. Do any of you have suggestions? I do know that VB programmers seem to be more proficient in programming and write better code, do you think that C# would make me a bad proggramer?

Yeah .. never go back to VB. I'm not advocating that certain language is better than the other. What I believe in is that some languages have more (for the lack of better terminology) 'strength' than ohers. Though C# and VB.net both are use .net CLR they both have some disadvantages and advantages. VB, due to it's impression of easiness and appeal to novice programmers, allows you to do some non-standard things which can lead to bad programming practice. Just to give couple of examples: module files and static keyword in VB -- which btw is very different from the static keyword in C#. Having said that, I am not stereotyping that "C#" programmer are "better" but it's just that since VB is very wordy it usually only appeals the new learners. - Malhar

Is it just me, or have we been seeing quite a bit of that in the last few weeks? I don't ever remember noticing this kind of thing other than the occaisonal flame-fest provided by articles of He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

Yeah. The noise to content ratio has been increasing for a while. As the site grows bigger, we are bound to attract an undesireable element to the community. He/She/It will go away eventually though. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

And yours just don't hold up. For you I'd suggest this great new language I'm learning. It's called BanUrIP.Net and I'm a big fan. Gregory or is it Sarah or maybe even Pumpkinhead or how about danifilth or whatever it will be next week. You are a colossal moron of epic proportions and moron inherits from stupid, lame, nancy-boy and anything else... GEEZ move on. You're way to easy to pick on. You absolutely cannot defend yourself in a public setting and you whine like a little girl when someone hops on you for being a bit on the stupid side.

I just asked a question about a programming language, and i get this sh1t. I don't know wtf you are talking about. And, by the way, I saw some of pumpkinhead's posts, and his were just mindless stupid garbage, what makes you think that I am him? Greg

Umm... You just nailed it yourself. As far as the WTF exclamation let me let you in on a little secret. Even though you are changing your names you are still trackable to all of us because your profile contains a unique ID. Any one of us at any given time knows exactly how to look up everything you've posted under whatever of your multiple personalities you are wearing at the moment by that unique ID. It's not a huge secret either. So it's not to hard to see that you are the same person posting all the messages I referenced and guess what... All of them "...mindless stupid garbage..." have a nice day, PUMPKINHEAD! :suss:

Back in my day, I could buy bread for 25 cents a loaf. And the troll were a LOT smarter. :) Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Can I make a suggestion that involves form and accuracy? This statement below isn't completely right... 'A programmer ist just a tool which converts caffeine into code' It's missing substance. Here let me fix it for you. 'A programmer ist just a tool which converts caffeine and pizza into code' There! Now that's an accurate statement with good form.:laugh::rose:

He's still around. He posted some Crystal Reports article a few days ago.

I blame the T.V. show Frasier. There was a seen where he was telling Ros about how he and Niles wrote mystery stories growing up. He went on to say, "It was sort of mix between the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew." Of course Ros spun that up nicely in, "So what did you call it? The Nancy Boys?" To this day that's one of my favorite dialogs from a sitcom.
