pinster Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 I just realize that VB.NET is very similar to Java!! Everything is an object!! Including data types and arrays... Which means to say that Java Programmers are easier to port into VB.NET!! Too bad!! If I could have learn Java at the ealier time... Quote Nothing is impossible in Programming! So, take it easy and let us all share your problem. :)

Anis Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 hmmm... VB.NET offers the full features of an OOP language. While VB 6 dont support things like implementation, inheritence ,real polymorphism and method overloading etc. It do, but to certain extent.. I will say limited!.. So, Java programmers might like it!.. But i dont think they will gonna move towards VB.Net. I have some feedback about it, and i guess those who are doing Java deeply, dont want to move back.. Like ME, who dont want to do Java, even i know it well!. :) I just Love VB! Quote Regards, Anis Miles to go Before I Sleep.
*Gurus* Thinker Posted May 13, 2002 *Gurus* Posted May 13, 2002 I have been saying this for a long time now. MS didn't roll over and die when they lost their lawsuit with Sun, they just decided to reinvent java and call it something else. Quote Posting Guidelines
Anis Posted May 13, 2002 Posted May 13, 2002 Looks very true thinker!... I have heard VB.Net will be a competitor of java in near future. Quote Regards, Anis Miles to go Before I Sleep.
*Gurus* Thinker Posted May 13, 2002 *Gurus* Posted May 13, 2002 It isn't just VB.Net, it is all the .Net languages. They are all based on the same runtime. The .Net framework is MS answer to the jave virtual machine. Quote Posting Guidelines
*Gurus* divil Posted May 13, 2002 *Gurus* Posted May 13, 2002 Thinker, you make MS sound quite nasty when you say that, which I suppose they are if you look at it in a certain way. Certainly if they were using their monopoly to try and beat Java. Truth is, they've come up with a better solution.

pinster Posted May 13, 2002 Author Posted May 13, 2002 And .NET framework will most probably be the winner of this competition because I have seen what VB.NET can but Java cannot even with the latest Java SDK 1.4! In fact, learning either .NET or Java will bring advantages to the programmers.. because as I said, they are quite similar.. and it lowers the learning curve for either programmers...

*Gurus* Thinker Posted May 13, 2002 *Gurus* Posted May 13, 2002 ...Certainly if they were using their monopoly to try and beat Java. Truth is, they've come up with a better solution. It can be both. The point is, it isn't revolutionary, it is merely evolutionary, and hardly original. Quote Posting Guidelines
reboot Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 re: Thinker The point is, it isn't revolutionary, it is merely evolutionary, and hardly original.Well... yeah. But then, you'd be hard pressed to name an MS application that you couldn't say that about. It's been their trademark since they started. All the way back to the original DOS (no, Bill Gates didn't write it, he bought it). :) Quote
*Gurus* Thinker Posted May 14, 2002 *Gurus* Posted May 14, 2002 Quite true, thus I can never seem to get over the surprise that people express when I or someone else tells them that the latest and greatest from MS is just version x of someone else's idea. I always thought it was an advantage when learning something new, to understand its roots. Chances are, once the latest lingo has been translated into terms I already know, I am 75-90% of the way in completely understanding it. Quote Posting Guidelines
shadowskull Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 Just curiousity, what do all those labels under everyone's name mean? ie. I'm labeled as "NewComer", Thinker is called "Alpha Geek", etc. etc. Quote
