RE: vb code?


C and c++ has a lot of relevance if you're dealing with operating systems.
In my case I have been coding on an embedded device you all know I am sure
the Braille plus and the Icon that one is a must know c, c++ and python.  I
have mostly been working in python the last few months but the last few days
I have been converting a project from regular linux to OE and that takes
quite a bit of knowledge in the lower levels. 

As for windows coding if you're starting projects from scrap I see no reason
why you wouldn't go with something like c# or vb because if you really need
a library that is written in c++ or c you can use them in either.  If you
start getting lower level you will have to leave the higher level languages
behind though.

Ken: It's good to hear your sage voice again. I still remember learning my 
first OOP acronyms back in the days of yore when you, Will Pearson et all...

were designing and implementing the JAWS scripts.
Now, those were some times. I wonder how that old Brit is doing. Last I 
heard he was working on some AI Project and going for a PHD I think.
By the way, I have been looking at c++ some. Do you think it has any 
relevance in today's managed world?
It is pretty complex if you get into MFC, ATL and  Interface IDispatch 
processes. Reading up on it I have found out allot though about what is 
happening behind the scenes while coding vb.net, my language of choice.
Well, this is just to say hi so that's all folks.
