 <\/p>\n

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

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

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

Geez… I’ve been using Visual Basic ever since VB for DOS 1.0. It has been a long while.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

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

Currently I’m working in an educational company.<\/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

My development team has 9 people. A project manager, a solution architect (me), four VB developers, and three testers.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/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

I’d say office automation applications.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/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

The next one.<\/p>\n

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

<\/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

Currently we’re rebuilding our online presence on the web. Building WCF services to provide backend for our web portal.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/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

Besides VB and SQL Databases? Well, I’d say Flash.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/i><\/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

Nowadays? Lambda functions. Hands down.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/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

Ease of use is on top of my heap. Better syntax, and fluidic code. Granted it is quite verbose when compared to C\/C++\/C# but I find that to be a strength rather than a fault.<\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n
