Hi guys,
I've developed a pretty big app with vb.net using visual studio 2010 express, and I have a few concerns.
With windows 8, and windows 10 now coming out, how long can I expect before I have to reprogram my whole app? There are a lot of lines of code... Should I consider using Visual Studio 2013 express? I'm afraid that newer Windows will create compatibility issues with my app. It works perfect on Win 7, btw.
Also, I've heard VB is NOT a dying language, but every time I go online to find .NET help, the examples are in C#, and not in VB.NET. Also, companies like Amazon, for example, are offering sample codes in C# for their APIs instead of VB.NET so that worries me a bit.
I'm curious to know what direction I need to take, if any. Maybe I'm fine with VS 2010 exp and vb.net?
Thanks!
Mr D
