Visual Basic vs C# - early adopters favour C#?
This myth is typically from someone in Microsoft who thinks, codes, demos and blogs in C# and wants to justify why they might ignore Visual Basic - errrr.... such as me a few months back. Sorry.
"Sure - there may well be a lot of folks using Visual Basic .NET but they are not my audience. I am after the early adopters, the folks who will work with the newest stuff from Microsoft - and that in general just is not the Visual Basic .NET developers"
Hmmmm.....
I thought I would spend a few minutes to see how much truth there was in the above. I was looking for an article which came in Visual Basic and in C#, written at about the same time, hosted on a neutral site and which I could easily find stats about. www.codeproject.com came to the rescue, more specifically salysle.
C'# has the edge (which I did expect) but wow - looks like we have plenty of Visual Basic developers willing to use the latest stuff from us. Enjoy!
P.S. The article is well worth a read!
