how to learn visual basic?

[jewii]

Hey there

Has anyone got a good book or website for learning 'good' VB code?

i can code in C & C# & planning on learning C++ in the summer however the job I’ve taken for the summer for extra cash practically requires me to know VB but I know VB is taught to high school students thus most books/sources are slow & the code isn't really good in practise. i.e. VB for dummies

So I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a book/online source for more intellectual experienced programmers?


Thanks

ok... i do stress that it's not my choice :/ i would love to work in C# but it'll be much more beneficial for the employee for me to programme it under VB due to certain circumstances.

i personally like C# more than VB due to A) VB is line sensitive & B) VB is much more of an wordy language. @ estebanrey the brackets & ; to me gives the programme structure making it much easier to read when you're code gets larger.


In my degree we were taught C first but next year's doing our year will be taught C++. i personally dislike C as a language [not it's type] thus why i'm learning C++ in the summer. imo C#>java, C++>C.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it down the framework version rather than version of Visual Studio you are using?

The .NET framework 4.0 brought the missing functionalities from both languages to each other.

i hazard as a guess but with VS10 which contained framework 4.0 which brought the missing the functionailities.


Anyway thanks for discussion, i conclude since VB & C# are very similar i'll just use online resources to learn the minor different syntex.

Thanks.

p.s. i got VS 2010 Ultimate Edition Free with my course... envy anyone?
