Biggest hurdle overcome in your dev career?
Week 67 Group Rant

My biggest hurdle so far is that (having just completed A-Levels in Computer Science and IT) my course/college insists on using Visual Basic as their language of choice to teach students. Which gives us very little in the way of employable skills. I know it's a easy language for idiots to understand, but what good is it in industry. (Although the IDE is by far the best I've used)

    If languages were people, VB would be a tie, HTML would be a designer and the rest would be devs in different ages.

    @PaddiM8 Me too <3 I've programmed several languages before and it was very easy to make friends with C#. It's like the best marriage of C/C++ and Java.
