If you can be good at both you will be able to choose which tool fits best for a prospective project - you will only become great at one when you find yourself appying one particular tool to most of your major projects.

So the order of business would be: Learn VB, Learn VFP, Learn to choose wisely, do real work, wake up someday an expert in either VB or VFP. It will happen naturally.

Best of Luck

>Hi! I have a question for everyone who has been programming for a while (or at least more than me).

>I've been working with VFP for almost 8 months now and am taking some classes at Purdue in VB. I first started out (in school) taking C and Cobol but they dumped that and went to VB.

>My question is: long-term wise, is it better to be really great at one language (VFP) and kinda good at another (VB) or to know both good (but not great)?

>I guess I'm looking for advice on whether to throw myself into both or to just try and get to be wonderful at one.

>Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
