VB.Net
VB.Net is one of the most popular programming languages in use today. This language is especially popular amongst business users because the syntax is perceived to be more readable and business user friendly than other programming languages. VB.Net still shares many of the same syntax elements of older VB dialects such as VB6, VBA and VBScript. This means that users who have written Macros in Microsoft Excel or used VBScript to write Business Rules in first generation CPM solutions should feel comfortable with the core syntax elements of VB.Net. The main learning challenge business users face when migrating to VB.Net is understanding the object oriented nature of the language. In comparison to VBScript, VB.Net offers more elegant coding opportunities. Many of the statements and processes are manually created in VBScript, but in VB.Net they are encapsulated in object libraries on which users can simply call.
