Could you point me in the direction of a resourse I could use to learn about all this .NET bla bla bla craziness? a book or a website would be cool.
These links should be a good starting point for you.

Also here is a link to the MONO project. It's a .NET CLR port for *nix platforms.

Bad coding habbits come from....well coding badly. You can do things the right way or the wrong way in any language. As for making you lazy VB was intented for RAD (Rapid Application Development) that is, making a working prototype quickly and for this I think it works quite well. If you would like to use C++ to code a GUI for a simple Win32 app go right ahead, you could also try to use COBOL to code a 3D Game engine, I don't give a **** but the fact is you need to use the right tool for the job, and for some jobs, VB is the right tool. And who cares what the language looks like? If you want it to look like C then use C for gods sake.Quote:
I wasn't implying VB was hard what I was saying is that it often is the introduction to bad codeing habbits. You basicly said it yourself... 'its easy' & blah blah blah. But I think it rather spoon feeds users alot. As I said before, it can make you lazy at times. Oh and im sorry but I still find that C has more in common with other languages than VB does.

In that case why bring this back up after other things are now being talked about and it has been knocked down a page or two.Quote:
I took C++ in college and found it to be very easy to learn.
I went c++ to java, and know it seems like everything just looks the same, just different. Figure that one out!
Well i have learnt the following (in order from first to last):
C, VB, HTML, Oracle, JS, JAVA. Each have their advantages and disadvantages.
I want to learn:
C# thing, waiting for more resources to be available.
ASM, i have downloaded some good tutorials and ebooks, waiting to get some free time.
:)
hey gigabite I have found several really good resources for c#... www.csharphelp.com was one of the best... I've decided to go ahead and just start learning c and c++ cause I have found some very good resources concerning creating windows applications. If anyone is interested in this let me know so I can help get you started. Thanks for all your help everyone.
Dude, Java.
I reccomend the book "Java Methods" by Maria Litvin and Gary Litvin
And if you liked that, also check out "Java Methods AB" It has to do with Data Structures. This book is by the same authors.
I started with VB and went on from there. It messed me up somewhat because everything was being done for me in a way. It was a pain in the ASS to look for that ONE METHOD YOU DIDN'T CAPITALIZE OR FOR THE ONE ";" YOU DIDN'T PUT IN BECAUSE YOU ARE SO USED TO VB PUTTING EVERYTHING IN FOR YOU! Damn VB...Damn Microsoft...Damn Bill..give me some money.
But yeah, those two books are really good, check them out.
