All the universities, that I know, teach it in their computer science courses. Google is written in a combination of Java and JavaScript. Below is the best list of languages and their status that I have found: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Saturday, November 14, 2009 4:04 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access/SQL Well, I'm so happy I waited to learn VB.NET. It died while I was waiting. One vote for the procrastinators. My kid is 13. He's heavy into JAVA now. But what should he learn for the future? What's going to be the platform du jour in 5 years? 10 years?

I can use both C# and VB.NET interchangeably as many .NET developers do. But I do prefer C#. Nowadays in my development I'm using 99.99% of the time C# (for several years now). There are also F#, IronPython and IronRuby, which can be used on .NET development platform... Even more programming languages will come to .NET platform in the future... Even Fortran can be used within .NET - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/net-languages/intro_fortran.aspx AFAIHF... Thank you. -- Shamil P.S. I'd guess "new powerful webdev platform" uses C# by default but you can always switch to VB.NET or use both... -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Mark Simms Sent: Saturday, November 14, 2009 11:59 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access/SQL VB.NET is dead, dead, dead. Everyone has moved to C#...much more elegant. On Microsoft's new, most powerful webdev platform one can only use C#. Recent stat from DICE.COM: 68 VB.NET openings vs. 162 C# openings....almost 3:1 !!!
