C# or VB?

[10mejia]

Hello, I've recently been wanting to learn and create programs. While researching for info on how to do so, i stumbled across 2 types of programs that help C# and VB. In other words, which one is easy/better for programming and coding? Please and Thank You for the support!

VB is more English words instead of symbols, so you'll get to do like

 

For X as Integer = 0 to 10 Step 1

 

That same code in C# is

 

for (int x = 0; x <= 10; x++)

 

I use C# now after starting with VB, I prefer C# for many reasons now.

VB is easy to learn

C# is harder to learn

Everyone will say the same thing.

 

VB is easier, C# is harder.

 

C# has more Gaming/Optimization uses. VB is more business oriented.

 

 

If you have the time for it, learn VB first, then learn C#.

I recommend starting with C# as if you want to advance onto a harder language such as c++ later is will be a lot easier.

 

Neither is easier then the other, it is all about preference. Try both for a little bit and see what you like better, that is what I did and I came out liking c# a lot more then vb.

Edit-

 

I'll try C# first sense i like to have a challenge

Also you could just install both. I did and I just use whichever one I feel like using at the time.

I could do that, but then it would take longer for me to learn 1 or the other.

Yeah, I'm not a really "good" programmer, but I started with VB and I'm starting to learn a little about C#. It seems a lot more complicated to me.

I would start with vb then learn C# after. They have the exact same syntax, but different words.

[iBotPeaches]

C# has

 

{

 

}

 

to encase your statements, VB doesn't.

 

C# adds a semi-colon to the end of lines (some), VB doesn't.

 

C# uses more symbols less words, VB doesn't.

I've decided to go with C#, it's a lot of fun but i think i need some kind of a manual LOL, i have very little on how to do anything at all, would anyone like to be a teacher? lol

Google.com is your best teacher.

 

Here is a good guide on learning c# as well.
