Yep, the demand for VB-programmers is pretty big.
I dont think you can say the same for their salery though.
Honestly, you have to be a complete moran to get a vb-program to error. Half
the code it writes for you and the other half is interpretered in any way
possible.
print "Hallo" + 4 ' prints Hallo4
print 4 + 4 ' prints 8
integer x
x = 3 + "3.4" ' x = 6.4
Hmm, interesting, VB5 completely datatype ignorant. Yet, one of the better
visual GUI development kits, does any one know of a better one ?
No, VB nowadays is program wrapper, the different sections of your program
are wrapped together into a GUI, with some scripting in the background. Add
4 meg and you got yourself a quick developped (admit it!) huge, working,
automatically updated (vbx, dll's are stored in \windows) program during
trivial tasks with an extensive complex GUI, together with pictures, a help
file and a setup program. Only 5 disks! Its all a matter of priorities.
