Newbie to VB need some advice please
-
Hello, I have zero to little experience with Visual Basic but have a greater amount of experience programming with Visual C++ and other languages and I have a few questions. 1. Would it be a waste of time for me to learn VB 6.0? Should I instead go directly to learn VB .NET? 2. Can anyone suggest any good books for me to read? (Preferably books for beginners to VB). Thanx for the help, -Flack

If you HAVE to learn VB I would move to VB.NET. If you have a choice and already have a more C++ oriented background go to C# instead.

I agree. Go for C# or MC++ (Managed Extension for C++) if your project requirement is not forcing you to go for VB.NET. ;) anyway.. Professional C# for Wrox is one of the good book I have gone thru. HTH, Regards, NetPointer

Now wait a second there... (I hate it when I am misunderstood) What I said was if you have to learn a .NET based language for a project and already have a good C++ background then C# will probably suit you better. I could haev conversly said that if you have to learn a .NET based language for a project and you have a good VB6 background then VB.NET would be best suited to learn. Sheesh... You almost made it sound like I was recomending C# over VB there.
