Vb.net Or C#.net by pafun(m): 10:59am On Mar 05, 2008 |
Which one of these two is 1. Easier to learn 2. More useful today in programming i.e more widely used and in demand . 3. More profitable on pay rate |

As a programmer who works with both and a big fan of vb I'll say VB.NET is the answer to all three questions |

If you are looking at developing applications that handle operations then settle for vb.net but if u need to get to hardware, network and other higher level programming, then I will recommend C#. Its up to u. |

VB.NET is cool since its a .NET language but C# is the language of choice for .NET development. Thats why Microsoft invented it , it has larger conformance to CLS than VB.NET. I know many VB developers use VB.NET , this was why MS created it in the first place, to at least get VB developers onboard , unfortunately VB.NET turned out to be quite good,so the motivation to move to C# once you can use VB.NET is not strong , all that being said C# is still the language of choice, and its similarity to Java and C++ is no mistake , See what others think, http://dn.codegear.com/article/31849 http://blogs.codegear.com/nickhodges/2006/08/29/27110 |

There is absolutely no difference between the two when it comes to what you can do in code. Your choice of each will have to depend on personal need. They both use virtually the same .NET Libraries. There are no vb.NET library files that are omitted in C#. As for which is better, none. As for which is easier, depends on your background. Someone with a Java background would find C# easier to learn but someone who is not from all that or even from a Cobol background might find Vb.NET easier to learn. C# is similar to Java mostly in structure/syntax but when it comes down to it, the same class files available to a developer who codes C# is available to the one who codes VB.NET and so they can both create the same powerful applications using either language. I have never seen any code written in, say, C# that can not be translated easy to VB.NET, neither have I ever come across code written in VB.NET that can not be converted to C#. When it comes to which is more widely used or more profitable on pay rate, that again depends on where you live and what information the employers in your area are privy to. Most employers hear from others or read of wonderful things someone was able to code in one language and they automatically assume that language is better than the others. In reality, that is all just rubbish. You can actually get away with writing the core of your code in one language, compiling it and then using it with the other language later on in another project. That is one of the multi-language selling points of the whole .NET platform idea.
There was even a debate on this published recently in the MSDN magazine to help developers understand there is no need for such debate as in the end, it all comes down to what language you are more comfortable with and nothing more. |

What im currently doing is learning the syntax of c#. But to be honest vb.net has a simpler syntax than c#. Same Libraries Same Possibility...Its a matter of choice. 2 Likes |

guente02: What im currently doing is learning the syntax of c#. But to be honest vb.net has a simpler syntax than c#. C# has platform advantage over VB.NET. Possibilities are not the same. |

BodyKiss: i don't understand, pls elaborate. Its good to learn New(Old) things |
Re: Vb.net Or C#.net by GoodBoi1(m): 10:41am On Jul 15, 2014 |
It depends on your background. If you're coming from VB6, VB.net; if your coming from C/C++/Java, C# is the way. |

Hi All, I am a C# developer in the UK and I would say that the learning curve for VB.Net is only slightly easier compared to C#. You have to remember that both languages are essentially the same underneath, inasmuch as they both sit on the CLR. So there are some intrinsic complexities shared between them (as well as other .Net compliant languages). So Easier, only slightly by VB.Net As for usefulness, there is a lot of 'religious' attitude about which language is better that that language etc, etc. The truth is, it really depends upon what you are doing with the language, because you should be smart and use the language for the strengths it possesses and adds to the potential of your project. C# has few features that VB.Net does not, but that may well be equally true of the inverse, but I cannot be sure. The long and short of it is, they are both useful and their comparable usefulness is most likely negligible, although I would edge toward C#. In the UK, you will find 9 jobs out of 10 that require C#. It is a fact that there are simply more jobs requiring C# and this trend is global not just here in the UK, Nigeria will go the same way I promise you (unless a better language supersedes it). If you look at the job boards here in the UK (again indicative of the global market) C# contract jobs are very wide spread and usually pay in excess of £350 per day, approximately N100000 per day. In fact, using one of the popular job boards that I frequent, the daily rate for only 1 found VB.net job offered £300-£350 per day. If I search for a C# job then I have 8 jobs in the result list with £600 per day as the highest value and £320 as the lowest. I know this is not pure science but it is indicative. This will of course be different in Nigeria as your economy is on a different level and I observe that IT is not valued as high as it is in the West, for the time being. I say again, without doubt, if you want to earn serious money C# will provide you with more opportunity, VB.Net will provide opportunity too but far fewer. Finally, my own little thought, if I may; until IT is truly valued in Nigeria by the project sponsors, the pay scale will be small. The dot com boom experienced in the West is starting in Nigeria (the economic centre of Africa don't forget) be in the right place at the right time. More pay = more innovation, more innovation = more spotlight on Nigeria, this will equal more jobs, more competition, and will increase pay to the developers who will be in high demand. |
