VB.net vs. C#???

[dandyboy]

I am a Com.Sci. graduate who is a COBOL programmer who rarely ever sticks his head out of his code or shell. I love to keep up-to-date on what the real current computer geeks are doing. One day, I know MicroSoft is going to undue mainframe COBOL and make it micro-VB-cobol. I welcome this with a great deal of trepidation, so I am taking courses at night in grad school to keep a little up-to-date from Johns Hopkins University. I have taken Advanced Visual C++ from the Univ. Md. many years ago. Does anyone know what is meant by what C# is??? What it's used for???

C# IMO opinion most closely resembles Java syntaxually (is that a word?). Anyways, it serves the exact same purpose as VB.Net--created managed applications to run under the .Net framework. It can be uses for Windows apps, ASP.Net, etc. etc.

C# = different syntax to VB.Net.

Almost zero other differences.

You learn the Framework, not the languages.

PS syntaxically....

Thanks for the grammer tip Craig.

lol, RiverGuy, you spoke too soon: "syntactically" is the word in question...
