i'm a college student and im taking a information tech. our topics is all about computer programming(visual c++), and im not familiar with that, can you help to understand that topic? i want to learn more.

I'm using QBASIC, an old programming language that is based on DOS (I think), it's easy to learn and use but for most people, after looking at its unappealing DOS-like interface and limitations, they would quickly decide that they don't like it, it's also not compatible with Vista. Nevertheless, it's the first and greatest programming language I've learned when I was about 14 years old and I'm still using it now (so are members of the Qbasic community). To me, C/C++, VB.NET is too complicated to use (VB6 is OK), for the reason that they require lots of lines of code and you have to put a ";" at the end of every line of code. People might have different views and opinions so don't be blinded by mine.
