heck..even if you wnt to code in c# and all you have is VB .NET, you still can..The framework has the C# compiler so you can write C# with just notepad...It is just that the IDE only supports VB .NET.


newb: The academic version is a full complete version, with some added features for teachers. The only real difference I would venture to guess is the liscense.. Cant sell apps written on it probably..But if you are selling apps you write with it, you can probably afford to get a regular liscense.
