Programming in Visual Basic?

Vincent T asked:


Hi I’m currently learning visual basic 2005 from reading a book, it’ll probably take me 2 weeks (or more) to read it, and a bit longer to get the hang of it. So I’m guessing it’ll take 1 month or less to learn Visual Basic.
But then I don’t know where to go after that, I was thinking c++ but not sure, how long would it take to learn c++?

    VB.NET will probably serve most of your needs. You only need C++ for something low level or when you need to use some advanced math libraries not available in VB.

    While learning Visual Basic (VB.NET) concentrate on getting a hold of the object oriented programming concepts (classes, method, public private stuff, inheritance, poly morphism, overloading, overriding). That may take a lot of time, not to mention brain power. But once you master the concepts of OOP, you can jump on to other languages.

    Next stop would probably be learning a database - thoroughly - such as Microsoft SQL Server. With knowledge of both, you can create complete desktop solutions.

    You can learn C++ if you get a good grasp of OO concepts. With C++ you can create more powerful applications for windows. But probably you don’t want to as you can usually create most of the typical windows applications in VB.NET.

    One month is not enough to master a programming skill! you may read a book, know what vb.net is but you only “get the hang of it” when you successfully create a working “with purpose” application.

    I suggest you plan for an idea of an application, lets say an application that serves a video rental store, or grocery store …etc. , create the application, make it look good and work properly.

    Another thing is do not learn a lot of programming languages because that will make you less likely to master one of them, which is needed if you want to program advanced applications.
