I learned Visual Basic .NET in high school. It honestly wasn't nearly as bad as its reputation. It's more like a watered down C#. It's pretty decent once you get past the syntax. There's still no reason to pick it over C# though. One thing I can say I prefer in VB.NET is the handles syntax - private sub blah blah .. handles object.event. A bit more elegant than C#'s making the event function and adding it to the object with +=.
- jasey 14y agoVisual basic 6 was/is allot worse than VB.net VB.net is just the same as C# with a different syntax. My evolution went something like this: BASIC -> VB6 -> (VB.NET + JAVA) -> C# Knowing VB.net and JAVA I pretty much picked up C# on day one of my first job.
