My employer wants me to start learning Visual Basic. This will postpone my current attempt to learn C++, as I find it confusing to learn more than 1 language at the same time.

As far as I can tell, there's only one place to get the SDK (M$) and so I'll have a play with it, and see if it can make exe's.

Ferris:
Any way to convince him to let you use C# instead? :) IMO C# is absolutely wonderful. Even my last Gameboy prod was done with it.

You could argue it has every advantage Visual Basic does too, of course. Forms, .NET, etc.. may be worth a shot :D

Jim:
VB.net or plain old VB? They're quite different!

Raizor:
What Ferris said. You can do everything in C# that you can in VB.Net, just without all the verbosity. It will also be handy for learning C++ as the syntax is similar.

What Ferris and Raizor said.

Also:
- Most examples on the internet are C#
- Look at Job adds, way more C# then VB.Net (that's for personal profit)

Try to convince your Boss!
