[dba-Tech] C++ to vb.net conversion

Steve,

I believe the sentence above will become false in another 50-100 years :)

Not in my lifetime probably :(

OOP&D, software design patterns, UML and UML-based software design &
development methodologies and practices, agile and extreme programming,
managed code (like C# & VB.NET, managed C++),  effective risk, team &
project management... - all these are promising, really useful and therefore
solid foundation to get the road to the promised land built somewhere in not
that far from today future....
