Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In the Visual Studio 2005 edition eBook by best-selling author Dan Appleman, you will find an in-depth comparison of the two languages. In a feature-by-feature, head-to-head contest, Dan pulls no punches in calling the winner in each case.

But a technical comparison is only the beginning. With a keen eye for the business issues involved in language choice, the author focuses on the economic issues involved in this decision, considering the cost of retraining and long-term support, as well as that of initial development.

In the final part of this eBook, Dan offers solid strategies for four different groups of readers: current Visual Basic 6 programmers, current C++ or Java programmers, managers of Visual Basic development teams, and managers of C++/Java development teams. By considering not only the technical and economic issues, but also the social and psychological issues, Dan provides the kind of practical real-world information that is almost impossible to find in an industry dominated by conflicting interests and marketing hype.

This sequel to the best-selling VS2003 edition also discusses the evolution of both VB .NET and C#, with coverage of the latest language features.

This edition is based on the final released version of Visual Studio 2005. The Visual Studio 2003 edition of this eBook is also available.
