How useful is Visual Basic for web programming? Is it still commonly used?
I know I’ve seen stuff wіth іѕ аnd ASP.NET, bυt I’m still pretty unfamiliar wіth аll web benefit terminology. I’m аbουt tο take a class οn Visual Basic, аnd I’m рlοttіng tο bе a web developer. Wіll іt hеlр mе?
Yes!!! VB is still extremely common for ASP .NET development since it calls pretty much the same librarys as c#. People like it because it’s a wordy language which doesnt have all of the punctuation – simpler to follow if you question me because it offers a smooth transition from psuedocode to real code.. Here’s also a fun fact for you, the newest version of the silverlight compiler was written in VB!
All of the .NET languages are pretty much on par with each other when it comes to web development; I have personally done some incredible things with VB. Take the course, and excellent luck!
Yes, you can use VB.Net working as code-behind for your ASP.NET pages.
Visual Basic is still very commonly used for web programming. But, you can’t use regular Visual Basic, you have to use Visual Basic Web Developer, which is slightly different from regular Visual Basic.
As for ASP.NET…. It’s a terrible language, I highly recommend you do NOT learn it.
Honestly, if you want my opinion, drop what you’ve been learning and learn PHP. It’s free, open source, and its the best language to learn if you’re going to become a web developer. A excellent tutorial can be found on http://www.w3schools.com, and you can download PHP from http://www.php.net.
