> VB.NET has only superficial similarities to VB 6 and before. There are differences, but the similarities are more than superficial. Some of my first apps were in 6, and then I transitioned to VB.NET in the early 2000s. At the very least, it pretty familiar and intuitive. Even VBA is pretty similar to the VB.NET apps I developed in terms of OOP, syntax, autocompletion in the editor, event handlers, and so on. Again, there are definitely differences, but there was no "[relearning] software development and getting intern like opportunities" like the comment I was replying to said, and my knowledge and experience was definitely not "worth exactly zero." It was just an evolution.
