Abdullah,

Hello. For the past six years, I have worked with VC++ and VB professionally.
At this point, I would not waste any time learning VB 6 or VC++ 6.

VB, as it is known in version 6.0, is going away. It is being replaced by
VB.NET; this has a completely different framework and component architecture.
The alpha is out for VB.NET, however, at this point, it is a command line
compiler.

Another part of the .NET architecture, C#, is the "premier development tool"
according to MS. This is the tool they seem to be encouraging C/C++ developers
to use. It seems VC++, according to the MS vision, will be used only for
low level programming.

Since both tools are out in alpha testing, I would recommend becoming a Java
guru. After that, if you want, you could see how the .NET tools turned out.

This is exactly the tact that I have been taking. I am a MCSD use VB, ASP
and some VC++, but am spending off hours digging through Java.
