VB.NET vs Java in a nutshell. - brandonio21 - 10-02-2011
Ever since I started making Java tutorials, tons of people have sent me private messages on YouTube asking which language to learn, Visual Basic .net, or Java.
Well, each language has its own perks: vb.net is more secure, and easier to learn. Plus, it is really easy to design the interface of an application using Visual Studio.
Java, however, is multiplatform, (Meaning it can run on any Operating system), and is relatively difficult to learn. Plus, interfaces require coding knowledge.
Overall, it is really about preference. More companies tend to hire developers who know Java. However, knowing both gets you extra points!!
Here is an image to help anyone that is confused:
