Difficult

[KabouterPlop]

I thought .NET would make use Life easier.
But i find it verry difficult to learn it.

Hope i am not te only one?

Hi KabouterPlop.

Are you a developper, I think it Net is the way to go to make "Life" easier
for your customers.

Just my thought?

I agree with that, but it's also true that any .NET language has a steep
learning curve (IMHO) because of the .NET Framework. Once you get started
though...

 

[KabouterPlop]

Yes i devellop in asp.
But asp.net is a lot of more coding .....i'm a right here?
But i see some nice features too in asp.net.
But with dreamweaver asp, life is much easier to devellop some nice
web applications.

I originally thought it was going to be a nightmare to transition to .Net, but I'm soooooooo glad I upgraded. They'd have to drag me kicking and screaming to go back to previous versions of VB

I hope some day that i feel the same way as you!.
My language choice at this moment is c sharp,.

Hi Kabouter,

Exactly, that gives you a better idea over what you are doing.
It takes some more time, however the result will be the same as with VB.net.

Does it?

Without getting involved in one of those C# vs. VB .NET "wars" I agree with
Miha; I simply can't see how it should give you a better idea of what you're
doing. If anything VB .NET is easier to learn (from scratch) than C#. Don't
get me wrong, I use both languages.

Hi Miha,

Does it?

In general I think it yes, that is why I like VB more than C#. Not for the
syntax which I like more from C#. (Without the ==, the useless () , the ;
and the case sensetive which I find backward compatibility isues that they
should skip in my opinion.)

However I thought I was writing in the newsgroup general and saw my mistake
when I had posted it. You know what would have been the effect with Jon,

Between us there is no fun in this kind of messages, because after two rows
we both say to each other that the other one has some intresting points or
something like that.

It makes you do things properly, whereas prior languages force you to take shortcuts. But given that you've decided to do things properly, then it's easier. So if it's more difficult, you're not doing things properly.

VB.NET is 'dumbed-down', to make it accessible to the thick. Those that don't understand or appreciate proper programming syntax may find it useful.

I'm not sure Miha was saying that - I read Miha's comment as C# not
taking longer than VB.NET. There *are* things which VB.NET hides from
the developer, so that it's not obvious what's going on:

o Properties being "passed by reference" by introducing a hidden local
variable
o Event handlers being added and removed more "secretively" than in C#
(if you use the "WithEvents"/"Handles ..." way of writing things)
o Automatic creation/fetching of forms when they're referenced (not so
sure about this one - it's an old memory)

For the most part I agree they're very similar, but there *are*
elements where VB.NET effectively it less obvious what's going on at
the IL/CLR level than C#.

Hey Ben! Eat sh*t and die. Take your crap elsewhere.

Very true, which is why it's easier to learn (IMHO), says the VB MVP to the
C# MVP...<g>

I much prefer VB .NET to C# as I find it easier being a VB developer over
the last 12 years, but I can use C# just as well (almost). In most cases
it's a matter of preference and what dev. language(s) you're accustomed to.
