I've been programming VB apps for the last 4 years, with SQL Server experience, and some Crystal Reports.


It's getting kind of boring since now it's mostly maintenance and small changes. So it's either look for other projects and move to another city or study a new language.

First, are there any major VB projects happening in the states.

Two, Is VB.net getting popular and could I fall into that path.

Three, what is the next best language to learn.

I appreciate you input about the current state of programming.
