Experience I have been programming with visual basic for 6 years. In all I have written programs in about 8 programming languages, although, I only know about 3 well. I have written a few applications but mainly I like to write programs for fun.
Expert: Brandon Drake Date: 7/26/2006 Subject: what is ASP.NET and VB.NET?
Question Hi,
Iam planning to join a course in .net, a institute in my locality offers both asp.net and vb.net. what is da difference between them? which one is better?
Answer Sam,
The two languages, ASP.net and VB.net, are used to do two completely different things.
ASP.net is for the web. You would use it to make web pages. You would probably want to know some HTML if you were going to take a class on ASP.net
VB.net is for making programs that people install on their computer. Microsoft Word, and Internet Explorer are examples of programs that could be made with VB.net.
You should take the class on which ever one will fit your needs better. If you want to learn both languages or you want to learn programming for fun, VB.net is the classic starter language. It is the one of the easiest languages to learn and very satisfying. ASP.net uses a lot of VB code, and the ASP class may require that you know VB.net.
