Visual Basic 2005/2008 (VB.NET) OR C#.NET?

I am looking to get into programming. I am proficient with HTML, PHP, and Flash. Which of these languages should I choose, VB.NET OR C#.NET? I need a language with a .NET framework, I will be using Visual Studio as my IDE. I am a beginner and do not know much, but I do have access to video tutorials.





Which of these languages is easier to learn? (VB.NET?)


Which is more flexible and used more often? (C#.NET?)


Which has more demand for and growing?





Thanks for any helpful advice! Happy Holidays!

Visual Basic 2005/2008 (VB.NET) OR C#.NET?
I would consider VB.NET easier to learn because it is more like English, but C# is more like most programming languages in terms of syntax and structure.





You can find plenty of work in either.

Reply:C#. Even Microsoft has stated than many VB programmers are moving to C# (40% last year by one account.)





If you have some experience in Javascript and Flash Actionscript, you will be more comfortable with C#, which has similar syntax.
Reply:definitely C#, I used to be a PHP programmer too, and VB is just too different, I would recommend VB if you used Pascal / Delphi before





Btw... not that it really matter anyway, if u use C#, VS provide tools to convert a C# syntax to VB in no time, vice versa
