VB6 Vs VB.Net
My college has both vb6 and vb.net, we're taught to use vb6 (via a very good (basic) text book), however i was wondering whether vb.net would maybe be better for programming simple things and hopefully more complicated ones as i progress, essentially my question is:
is vb.net easier than vb6 and is it better??

Re: VB6 Vs VB.Net
it is harder in alot of ways, but easier in alot of ways too, and yes it is better. By better i mean there is alot more options and tools to play with.
The first difference i liked was string manipulation.. much easier and efficient.

6 is easier for learning the basics. .NET is a more powerful language overall.

Re: VB6 Vs VB.Net
If you learn .NET, you are learning OO design. Trying to go from non-OO (or pseudo OO as VB6 was) to OO is probably more difficult than going the other way, so .NET might be a better place to start.
