| C++ vs. VB
So here is my question:
-Whats better for you.
I prefer C++ and I ll tell you why:
1. C++ is very portable (we can write C++ programs for different plaforms as Linux, mac OS X, win)
2. C++ is much more poverful.
3. We cannot write VB programs for other platforms than win (Im not realy sure, please tell me if thats true or false)
4. In VB you are limited Im not realy sure, please tell me if thats true or false)
5. I also think VB is for n00bs |

| VB.NET support is present in Mono but is very limited.
Limited in what sense?
For me (I learned VB6 in high school), VB was a great beginner language. It taught me the basic skills (loops, if statements) in an easy to use environment.

| There is FreeBASIC that is a gpl implementation (works of linux of course). As Bryan said, it is easier than straight c++. Also how did you get to reason #5?
Is one "better" than the other. I don't know. Both have there place. Different jobs require different things, and we shouldn't think one thing can fill both holes. | |

| Neither! Objective-C!
I learned VB back in the 3.0 days, but out grew it as soon as I learned Pascal. Now that's an easy beginner's language! I still don't know how to use C++, so I can't comment on that.

| c++ and vb are not comparable. c++ is compiled and run as a real program, vb is interpreted. compare c++ to pascal, or maybe Fortran. compare vb to java. vb is a learning program, which Microsoft also has tried to push as the leading interpreted language, due to the industries acceptance of c and c++ syntax as basically being standard, java thrived as being a c++ like language. thats why Microsoft made c#. they couldn't take control of java, and they couldn't take down java, so they are basically going to clone java and then try to make it seem like the next step for the c family.
