Abstract :
For the past decade, Microsoft´s Visual Basic has been the programming language of choice for Windows-application developers. And recently, Microsoft has made the popular language available for Web-based applications. However, as a growing amount of application development targets the Web, other languages, such as Sun Microsystems´ Java, appear to be challenging VB´s dominance. VB has remained popular despite prior changes to the language. However, there may not have been as many viable alternatives as there are now today, other languages such as Java and C++ have become Web-development tools of choice. Developers may decide to use these languages because they are more mature and because VB.Net will be more complex to learn and use
