C# and VB.NET Comparison Cheat Sheet

While browsing some resources on the web today, I came accross this:

“A quick cheat sheet that highlights some key syntactical differences between C# and VB.NET. While this is not all inclusive this cheat sheet proves to be a handy reference.”

See it here. Very useful!

Developers vs Programmers: A thought

It appears to me these days, that in industry people use software tools such as VS.NET and others to create software, while in many academic instutions in the fields of Computer Science and equivalent. Students learn hardcore programming and use tools such as emacs ...etc. As well as lecturers emphasising that we need to know how to program ...etc and have good low level technical knowledge and so on. However tools like VS.NET ...etc help make people more productive.

My conclusion from all of this. I think today's people in the technology industry that use IDE's are probably - Smarter Developers - as they do things in a more productive way - but possibly Dumber Programmers than the people who started programming in the 60's ...
