visual studio is the ide, not the programming language. What kind of programming would you like to do? Thanks, Tyler Littlefield Web: tysdomain.com email: tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Hooley To: Programming Blind List Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2009 5:14 PM Subject: Visual Basic or Visual Studios? Hi all! I am interested in learning a programming language, considering Visual Basic or Visual Studios. I've taken a Computer Basics course in high school, back in the DOS days and I remember some of how it works, but I'll be a beginner in Windows. Which of these two languages should I start with, or does it matter, or is there a better choice? Thanks! Sharon
