The Basics of Visual Basic.Net #1
Yo, made this video a while ago, figured I would post it here so people that are interested in getting into coding could watch!

It's meant for people just getting into VB.Net and those new to coding period. 

Enjoy!

Might go more into coding, thanks for the tutorial!
Anyways, I'm a bit good in HTML, that's the only language I'm learning so far, I'm looking more into coding. Where do you think I should begin?

VB is a great entry level language that can continue to do some amazingly complex stuff, I mean look at Ven0m, or Oblivion. However if I could do it all over I would prob convert to C# before I became to used to VB.Net as C# makes it easier to transition into languages like C/C++

vb.net syntax just completely fucks with me. In my opinion, its shit but I know people who swear by it.

Great tutorial none the less.

Glad you like it! I hope to make more if I ever am able to find time :'( and yeah, it really just comes down to what you get more comfortable with first, I started with Batch which lead to vbs, which lead to VB.Net so I've just gotten accostumed to it.

This reminds me of my first ever YouTube video..
"How to make a web browser in VB.NET"  :yus:

If you want to get into programming, there is nothing wrong with starting with Visual Basic. You can still use concepts throughout your programming career. But it's all about the web technologies nowdays in my opinion. Far better off starting with a bit of HTML & Javascript these days. .NET aren't bad desktop languages, but consider using something that companies actually use. I believe the most popular one is still Java?

Lolwat, ever heard of ASP.Net? Literally VB and C# for web dev, and that statement seems completely unfounded, there are tons of companies that are looking for .net developers, Microsoft being one of them. And Java is on its way out, I'd imagine C/++ is leagues more marketable as a skill than Java

All desktop languages are still fairly dated and going out of the mix.
I'm not saying they're no good to learn at all, but .net developers are very limited in my opinion. Java isn't on its way out as the likes of Android rely on it, for native development anyway. C++ is still used a lot, for game engines and the likes but like I said, it's a very limited market.

ASP.net again is still used, but is on its way out. It still has a massive market for web apps, but they are pre-existing projects, not the new projects. The majority of modern tech projects won't be using .net for their web based projects.

Take a look at the likes of mobile technologies going down the web route too with the likes of React-Native. That's all Javascript, which seems to be where everything is heading at the moment.

I work full-time as a full-stack web developer, and have been for almost 4 years now. I started off working for 2 and a half years with .net technologies. Our projects were outdated, but the production cost to change what we use wasn't in the cards. I used to work on membership management, CRM web apps and the likes.

I now work on HTML 5 web apps, constantly using the latest technologies available for speed, durabilty etc.. for all devices.. Desktop, Apple, Android etc

Stat for 2016;
