Yeah, however, I will mostly like use Visual Studios to create programs to use in my job as a web developer. That being said I would need to compile my program into setup packages if I don't need to create reports. Also, I'm a qualified web developer, I'm only doing programming because there appears to be some languages that can be used in web development. I have been interesting Visual Basic for about 12 years and used to teach myself VB6 but didn't learn very much because of being self taught.
