Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate is the most modern one and the one with the most features, so unless they have told you to get a different version I would go for that.
PS Jealous that you get Ultimate, I have an MSDN subscription but only as far as the premium version!
I did almost ask about C#, but as it's a college course I suspect he doesn't have any say in the matter.
Aye your right, no say in the matter haha
I did ask my lecturer and she said it was something to do with .NET not being as object driven as C. Never really coded so doesn't mean anything to me
Also - that's not to say you can't do OO in VB.Net - you can
For the record: C and C# are utterly, utterly different languages. C# is largely the same language as VB.NET with different syntax and a slightly different feature set, while C is a much older, lower-level language, which bares only syntactic similarities to C#.
Many people say C# is a better choice than VB.NET since it's more popular in industry (indeed, more popular in general, being Microsoft's flagship language), but it'll be pretty straightforward to learn C# once you've mastered VB.NET. The most important thing is to understand the underlying framework, .NET, which both languages are built on.
Well that's totally wrong I presume she means C#, in which case she'd be slightly less wrong, but still not correct.
Not surprising really, since VB.NET is first and foremost an OO language, just like C#!
If that were the case, they should all be teaching Smalltalk
Many of these students will never get beyond basics into OO etc. I know places where they still teach VB6 - and that is why our kids lack the skills required for industry. Well done to the OP to taking a bit of initiative and showing some interest.
