VB Developer

[mwildam]

Hi, I am a Software Developer and technical consultant with long year experience of software development first under MS DOS then under Windows.

In (IT specific) school I learned different languages, but more intensive I used Clipper, Turbo Pascal, C++ and then VB. VB is the language I used in my job for more than 10 years now for a lot of projects.

Although I think that VB is still a useful language looking at the future tells me that I have to look for an alternative.

First the logical step seemed to be C# / MS dotNET.

But after looking a very little into Linux and looking around I can see other operating systems getting more popular. Therefore platform independent development seems to get more important.

And further after looking a little at the C# with Visual Studio 2005 as well as Java with Eclipse and NetBeans on the other hand I feel better with Java.

Therefore I am diving into the Java world - slowly because I have other older and newer living projects that I still have to support.
