OK, so i'm gonna get flamed for this, but here goes!
I've read a few past threads about it, but i thought i'd raise a similar point
I was discussing programming languages with a colleague. I told him I prefer to develop in vb, but he thinks I should begin learning C++ because (and i quote) 'it's miles faster'
I know the compiled code should in most cases be noticeably faster, but what about development time - am I right in thinking that normally takes longer to develop in c++, or is that a load of old rubbish??
I'm not trying to decide which is the best language (for me, the best one has to be the one I know), but just to see what a few other people think??
-
I wouldn't think it takes much more time to develop in C++. The only thing would be Forms and that stuff, but all the other code should just as fast to make.
Would be nice with a C++/VB-in-one solution, the best of two worlds.

I beleve C Sharp (or whatever they're gonna call it) is going to be along those lines
maybe I'll have a look into it when it finally arrives from msdn....
-
Microsoft is actually creating such a solution?
If they do, I'm saying bye bye to pure VB. All the possibilites that opens.
-
they reckon so, quite whether it'll be any good remains to be seen
check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/ne...sharpintro.asp for more details
you should be able to get a beta of the new visual studio soon, if you get msdn.
beware - they reccomend a pIII 733 with 256 meg to run it though!!
