for me c++ is easy to used but VB is easy to understand..

Why VB in the first place if you can have it on Delphi? anyways, its just my opinion though because I hate microsoft products which in fact I use one of its OS'es for some crappy apps to run. Hmmm, I just need to pass this silly VB class. *sigh*

If it wasn't patented for microsoft, I might have been using that. waaaah!

Anyone been using Delphi?

i've tried borland delphi. have learned to link it with SQL. is that the correct term 'link it w/ SQL'? anyways, i use firebired as the rel. database.

If you are used to VB and are doing development primarily for windows then, I strongly recomend C#. It has a lot of the features of C/C++ without a lot of the headaches. The interface to laying out GUIs in the IDE will be very similar to what you are used to in VB but you will have the features of an object oriented C-like language.

-selket

Code: Select all

Private Sub Command1_Click()


If Text1.Text = Text1.Tag Then
MsgBox "Access Granted", vbOKOnly, "Password validation"


Else
   response = MsgBox("access denied", vbRetryCancel, "Password Validation")

    If response = vbRerty Then
    Text1.SelStart = 0
    Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
    Else
     End
    End If
End If
Text1.SetFocus

End Sub

try this basic code in visual basic

ah, C#.. haven't tried it yet though i've heard that it provides ready made codes for creating programs for windows. nice eh.

I would say C and C++. You can learn both similtaniasly. C++ has some great feature and is fast, but just doesn't touch the speed of C. C is pretty just the step up from assembler, and thats why most hardware drivers are written in it, so if you want to interact with hardware, be extreamly fast then chose C.
But as i said before i sort of went off on one about C, C++ is also very good. Just cos its a little slower than C shouldn't put you off because its still very fast.
But I saw C# mentioned as well. Now if your considering C# i would say go for it because its now multiplatform (yes, it runs on Linux now too) and pretty easy to learn. Its got a C/C++ like syntax so you can always go into C/C++ at a later point with a good knowledge of syntax, which is always a nice hurdle to jump straight away. You might also want to look into JAVA. Nice language.

Hope i was at least a little help.

I've nothing more to add. Despite the fact I don't like C# or Java alot, they do their job.

If you prefer C-like sintax, I recomend C#. Specialy if you know VB.NET.

Go for C++, in my opinion its the best
easy
powerful
fun

theres no need to learn c before c++ also learn perl and html if you don't know it lol
