Back in the mid 90s, in my early- mid twenties, I built a software business on vb. Clients included financial services, government, and others. I even had a customer who connected my cv software to custom hardware. It was such a good product (I'm talking about vb). There definitely was snobbery compared to vc++, especially around the fact that it compiled into pcode. And the fact that I couldn't do my own dll's / ocx/ vbx. But the versatility and utility was amazing and I was able to create a nice bit of side income. If was my second business but my first software eating the world one. Wanted to use this opportunity to say thanks to you guys for such an awesome product!
- Stratoscope 12y agoWell thank you. It has to be one of the most gratifying things for a software developer to hear when people have used your code and built great things with it!
