VB or any language that uses.Net as the IDE is really really bad for beginners. you completely skip the basic of OOP programming , memory management and other basics. Simply clicking on a button and writing 1 line of code that generates a 100 lines behind the scenes doesnt sound like a good language for learning professional programming.
C++ should be the first OOP language for starters, after knowing C++ , I believe all languages are a piece of cake.
It is although allright for people like my girlfriend who dont know anything about programming and just wanna get through a programming class as its required in the major. She doesnt do it herself anyways:) , I have done all her assignments for her...
I have Vonage with Comcast and I have never had a problem with it , except sometimes the internet goes down completely and I have to just reset the modem and its all back up.
I would relate this to using API's and reusing code when coding something, and if you are using.net, where you write 2 lines of code and.net writes a 1000 lines for you behind the scenes, you would feel like you havent done anything, I hate the fact that I give up control of my code if I ever use.net.
But coming back to my point, feeling is different than actually doing, use of API's speeds up the process and you get more stuff done in less time unlike the previous decade.

If I can google during a test :)
