Which of these 2 classes should I drop “INTRO C++ PROGRAMMING” or “INTRO VISUAL BASIC”?

ernerock asked:


Im in college and I need to drop one of these 2 classes because I need to take another class and I will have more credits that I can actually have. In terms of importance for my major (Computer Science) which should I keep and which should I drop?

Classes are again “Introduction to programming with C++” and Introduction to programming with Visual Basic”

    I had to drop 2 classes last semester because i had too much stuff going on at home that required my immediate attention. I dropped the 2 that took up the most time, had the least credits, and wouldn’t really put me behind (as in there aren’t second and third installations of the class).

    VB - it’s a simpler language and you could pick it up on your own.

    C++ has more advanced concepts that it would be good to be educated in. Also, the conceps are applicable (similar) to Java and C#.

    Intro Visual Basic.

    C++ is a cross platform language, which is widely used and applied to a variety of OSes, platforms, and chip architectures. At one time, BASIC was, however since it has become Visual Basic it is primarily for Windows and is not, as far as I can tell implemented on blade servers (it was originally written for Dartmouth College Mainframes) or other devices.

    If you want to learn about Microsoft, take Visual Basic. For computers, take C++.

    Drop visual Basic. It’s a horrible language. VB should take you maybe a week to learn from a book.

    C++ isn’t just about C++, but should give you an overview of concepts like memory management, pointers, and arrays. You will also probably be introduced to how the computer works much more closely.
