no vb is perfect for neopets and many other apps c++ is very strong but takes alot longer to code go with vb

[Anonehmoose]

VB may be perfect for neopets, but if you learn VB and you decide to move on, you'll find it hard to relearn another language.

but I program computer apps not always internet based some of my best code is not for internet and its great ive looked at c++ yes its amazing but y learn it at the minute if I get a job at programming I will probably stay at vb becuase lots of poeple use vb and c++ isnt as versitile

[Anonehmoose]

Most modern games are programmed in C++. If you wan't a job as a programmer, VB ain't gonna get you far.

tell me what that is lol and he ur nan

Nah... C++ is the best language out there. It is even used in Linux. And it is faster than VB, and if you all should've known, they can say that VB IS NOT a programming language.

[Anonehmoose]

include <#iostream.h> allows you to use the input and output commands in C++. Without it, basically, you're CENSOREDed.

And VB is a programming language. Everyone, one way or another, is based off VB. C++ is.

Even tho VB is RAD, it really looks like it isn't a programming language. Take for example its code structure, its functions, statements and etc... they're far off related to C++

[Ender]

I recommend C++. I program in it. It is VERY hard at first, but stick with it and you will realize that every other language you look at is EASY. Also, C++ is cross platform, and REALLY fast. The only setback is that it is really hard and ti'me consuming... but I think it is worth it

[Storm]

C++ is the best language but I see VB as another of the best because you can make an interface easier. C++ is used to make a lot of pc games because it can do a lot more than VB.  I already no a lil bit of C++ because I pwn in a language based off  it =p

Cheers for them links Anon

[xx_WLT_xx]

Oh ya, thanks again for the link! I thought I might learn C++ later...

[Svenne]

Most of the C++ programmers don't like VB but what with C Sharp?
Is that good? Or VB.NET

[xXx$keetchxXx]

well... I would be on the vb side of this argumant, but I'm gonna learn C++ so I can be neutral

Nice piont of view.

[ShadowLink64]

VB sucks compared to C++, trust me.

In C++, you can design a whole operating system kernel (like WLT was saying about Linux) and other things... and VB is dependant on runti'me files in an OS!! hahaha

[ink]

Visual Basic is not a "programming" language. It is a "scripting" language because it requires a runti'me. It cannot be compiled into machine code because it runs off of a DLL that processes it to machine code then displays it and repeats this process for each action in the executable.

Write a good OS???
I've had a year of c++ and am now learning java, I say learn VB, but don't become proficient at it...use your ti'me on c++ and java.

[xx_WLT_xx]

I say, VB is not a programming language but an Interpreted Language
