Which is better? Broadland C++ builder Or Visual Basic?? and why??

C++ will allow you to build much more robust applications. Visual Basic is good for more simple programs and even learning the fundamentals of programming logic.

Which is better? Broadland C++ builder Or Visual Basic?? and why??
It depends on how experienced you are in programming - Visual BASIC is a great beginner's language. BASIC stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instructions Code
Reply:broadland C++ is much better than basic...but V.b is eaay..
Reply:You always get the answers from people dogging visual basic because they read that in a magazine 10 years ago and have never actually used it. I use both vb and c#. I personally prefer VB. It is easier to learn, easier to use, and does just as much.
Reply:Visual Basic - has broader application appeal, newer technology.
Reply:apples and oranges.


Borland is an IDE/compiler...VB is a (bad) language.





C++ is better, though you may want to start with c.
Reply:I use both on a fairly regular basis. It depends on what I need, how long I want to take, and the desired end result.
Reply:Everyone is talking about the "language"; what is really important is the compiler. If you are programming in any high level language you must rely on the complier to convert it to machine code(The language your platform(OS) can understand). Most people who bash basic do so based on the fact that the complier wasn't very good in its infancy. Now when you compile either a VB or a C++ program you have written, they end up virtually being the same entity. Actually, VB probably does a better job at memory managment than many intermediate C++ programmers.
Reply:first of all there are now two vb's. VB6 %26amp; VB.Net, they are two completly different languages all together.





vb6 in my oppinion is good for prototyping applications or writing non graphic intense programs like database programs. Vb6's language is very sloppy in my opinion, the only thing that keeps it going is it's IDE (Intergrated Development Enviroment) basicaly you can do most of the work by dragging object onto your form.





vb.net has very good syntax. It is an interprated language so it will never be as fast as a well writen c++ program. If you only want to write software for windows and you aren't writing very complex games I would sugest ussing vb.net.





c++ is the hardest to learn. It have many difernt librarys and they all use differnt naming conventions which makes a fairly difficult language just that more difficult. But once you master it you are capable of writing very fast and robust programs. You can also write programs for nearly all types of computers is c++.
