·<\/span>        <\/span>How long have you been using VB?<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I have been using VB for 7 years. I started with Visual Basic 6, and 3 years later I learnt VB.net.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

·<\/span>        <\/span>What industry do you work in?<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

-Computer hardware and software maintenance.  <\/span>-Web Design and Windows-based software development.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

·<\/span>        <\/span>How big is your development team?<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Only me.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

·<\/span>        <\/span>What kind of apps do you most commonly build?<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Multipurpose Windows-based applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

·<\/span>        <\/span>What’s the most interesting app you’ve ever built?<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I’m working on an application that captures errors on remote computers and uploads a log file to the FTP server. This will help me in maintenance with clients around the world.

It is a rapid application development environment, and that makes it favorable and easy. It combines coding skills with visual and graphical view.<\/p>\n
