- Visual Basic really doesn't compare to Borland C++, but it does have its
- advantages. It's very easy to learn and use. You can create buttons, dialog
- boxes, list boxes, etc. and link code to them with ease. If you plan to make a
- small Windows app with very little turnaround time, VB is the way to go. I'm
- using both BC++ and VB. Of course, being the programming weenie that I'm, I
- prefer BC++, but when our customers want a very quick turnaround time, I can
- get it done with VB in less than a day. Honestly, I think VB is good for
- those who really don't want to deal with the overwhelming capabilities of
- BC++.
-
- In a nutshell, VB is very good but if you have the time and the knowledge,
- BC++ is the best way to go.
-
- Of course this is just my opinion...whatever it's worth.
- Hope this helps.
