I'm hoping to study .Net . What shall I study VB.Net or C#.Net? My wish is to work in Web Developing side.

C# is more powerful. So I'd go for that. But...





I would recommend considering learning a language that isn't tied to one company/operating system.





The web has always been open source and hopefully always will be. Microsoft is also losing business share at the moment (albeit very slowly). If you want to be in web development for long periods of time you'd be much better off learning PHP or Python or any system that is open or isn't tied to Microsoft.

C# pays better. At least in the Midwest, where I'm located, there is a huge demand for it. I can't remember the last time a headhunter called me looking for VB.Net skills.





But that aside, I enjoyed the time I spent programming VB.Net. It's a good lanugage and easy to learn especially if you have experience with classic ASP. But the market eventually made me switch over.
Reply:definitely c#, because in a sense you're learning more languages than just it.





vb.net is smiliar to visual basic and vbscript,,, which are languages that are rarely used and almost out-dated(except for some IT scripting purposes)





but with c# it'll be easier for you to pick up on java, javascript, c, and c++,,,, and these are the languages to learn and know





in my opinion.
Reply:either one. VB.Net might be a little easier for beginners. But, it is easy to learn the second language after learning the first.
