VB .NET vs. C#

VB .NET vs. C#

选择那个会更好一点？

偶尔看到的这片文章，我觉得还是不错的一片文章。作者分析了一下两者相比较都是那个更适合我们，尤其对于那些正在C#和VB.NET之间犹豫的程序员。

With the release of .NET, Microsoft is creating two new languages, Visual Basic .NET and C#. Many developers are wondering which language they should choose, and current Visual Basic developers often say they’re thinking about moving to C#. Does it really matter if you build your applications with VB .NET or C#? How do you choose between the two languages?

Why Do They Exist?

为什么两者共存？

Before diving into their similarities and differences, it helps to understand why both languages exist and how they compare with their predecessors.

I often have the chance to ask people why Visual Basic exists. Microsoft’s co-founder and chairman Bill Gates has a long history with the BASIC language. In fact, his first product was a BASIC interpreter for the Altair computer, written on punch tape. Microsoft’s history with BASIC includes several versions of BASIC before Visual Basic, but Visual Basic was Microsoft’s first real attempt to open Windows programming to the masses.
