Day 02 – Preferred programming language?

Visual Basic.NET (Visual Studio 2010)

Why?  Because historically, I progressed from:

• AppleSoft BASIC
• GW BASIC
• dBASE III Plus
• FoxPro
• Paradox
• Access
• VB 5.0
• VB 6.0
• VB.NET

In addition, Visual Basic.NET has the following advantages:

• VB not only stands for Visual Basic, but also Verbose.  It is a verbose language, which assist with self-documentation, as I don’t have to guess as much which } closes which statement.
• C#.NET coders are a dime a dozen.  You have to really love VB to go against the flow.  This makes you rare and more valuable.
• All the Java developers hate you.  I can live with that because I am anti-LAMP:

	Open Source	Microsoft
Operating System	Linux	Windows
Web Server	Apache	IIS
Database Server	MySQL	SQL Server
Language	PHP/Java	ASP.NET
