In my opinion it was almost as difficult to switch from FP 2.6 to VFP than it has been to switch from VFP to C#, and yet we all made that switch to VFP, albeit reluctantly (I was) and now most of us would laugh at the idea of going back to FP 2.6.

I've never learned VB and yet I can read the code given what I know about C#. If someone told me tomorrow that I had to switch to VB, I'd say "Oh Darn" and a couple of days later, I'd be OK, so I'm assuming that the reverse is true.

Thanks for posting the list, It's informative.




>>"C# also is slated by Microsoft to become the primary development language for Windows Phone 7. Like Java, C# is big in the enterprise. However there are considerably fewer C# developers than there are Java developers. But the importance of C# as part of the Microsoft .NET strategy and its support through the Visual Studio tools suite make C# a formidable contender in the programming language race."

And then there was one - I already hear the arrogant at Microsoft saying it makes more sense to concentrate on one language- C#- to defeat Java. Sound familiar??

C# ranked No. 6 on the most-recent TIOBE Index (2/11).
VB.NET ranked No. 22 on the most recent TIOBE Index (2/11)!!
