it depends...... on what you want to do ........ VBExpress is great for learning..... nad for doing small dev with....... but for big apps....... you will need........... something stronger.
VB6 -- Old technology..... last greatest VB....before .NET
VB5 - even older..... did you mean VB2005 by chance??????? that would be the latest........
-tg
ok so what you are saying then is what I have now is the best??? right?? because all I want to do is make small programs...
Whichever language you have best command on would do for you.

At the end of the day, getting the full product is expensive when the free version does what you need. It's just good economic sense :)
C# Express is the best :p
Moved to General Developer
VB.Net 2005 Express is for beginners and/or hobbyists. It's a nice product but quite limited. If you are professional programmer then you will need full product which is expencive btw.Quote:

Here is a full product comparison between all current versions:

Just use the one that is best for what you are going to use it for.
If company is looking toward new technology then it's "in their interest to get VS2005" full product to begin with... So, how can Express be "best" ? ;)Quote:

oh and key frame... like with movie stuff.. you can key frame pictures..... and one thing I wanted to do is to be able to key frame text...
I think that Express could do that... the problem is that the code you need to write would be complex (no more complex than in the 'full' versions).
It sounds like a lot of fun... Good luck to you. :wave:
I think SI is right...
Anyway, if you live in the States then you may want to check out School of Visual Arts - it's in NY and they have FILM AND VIDEO course.
I don't know if it's affordable for your family but looks like @ the age of 14 you already know what you want to do :afrog: so I would at least visit their site... :wave:
Best of luck kid. :wave:
well I am getting a book this week on VB hoping to learn more about it and coding.... thx for the encouragement...
