Stupid reply:
It takes a few days, but once you learn VB well, you'll be able to work instead of spending years to learn how to use C++.
First, I'd like to thank you for this "stupid" word [flaming] - very kind.
And what you say is very true -
why do you think that VB is used?
Quote:In business programming, Visual Basic has one of the largest user bases. According to some sources, as of 2003, 52 percent of software developers used Visual Basic, making it the most popular programming language at that time.
other source (not related only to business programming) (before looking the table, please read about the methodology they used). Anyway, VB+VB.NET still represented nearly 24% of the (online) job offers in June 2003.
I'd have to say that it takes more than a few days to learn VB well. In a few days, you'll be able to create small programs but small programs are not really usefull.
Anyway, since VB is simple and yet powerfull, it is true that a lot of projects are built using VB instead of C++. From a programmer point of view, good VB skills sells well. What's stupid about this?
