<\/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

(Really) Generic 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

Around 4<\/span><\/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

Development frameworks, as a back-office (like services) or critical solutions (performance, for example)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

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

A reverse engineering on a 70’s mainframe to integrate a Coldfusion website with it, using a queue and n clients made in vb.net to process that queue, manipulate the mainframe system and the credit card payment.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

·<\/span>        <\/span>Please tell us about an app that you’re working on at the moment.<\/p>\n

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

A workgroup software with some interesting features like video conference and live web casts in a browser window without any extra software, connecting Adobe Flex technologies with a SOA made in vb.net.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

·<\/span>        <\/span>What other technologies do you most commonly use?<\/p>\n

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

Adobe Flex 3<\/span><\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

·<\/span>        <\/span>What are some of your favorite VB features?<\/p>\n

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

All of them? =D VB works in the “common way”. I just need to type a _ on the end of the line in some rare ocasions, insted of C# that needs ; in all ocasions. I can handle an event just by a keyword in the end of the line (so, I don’t need to erase 3+ lines of code if I decide not to use it anymore). I can do optional parameters instead of writing tons of overloads… I can make properties with parameters (mid$ for the win), there are maaaaany things that make VB simply RAD! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

·<\/span>        <\/span>What do you like most about VB as a programming language?<\/p>\n

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

It’s easy, it’s RAD, it’s logical (don’t need to remember what the frack is private ~Something()). Programming is 100% logic, why use an illogic programming language? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
