VB?

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

I second that.

Need to learn it for a specific contract or just looking to get a different kind of coding experience? Not really coding, though. Spoke to someone once who fancied themselves a programmer because they used VB, but never actually hand-wrote a thing themselves... :roll:

If I absolutely needed to start looking, I'd probably first go to programmersheaven.com, but qartis beat me to that one. Second place: you could probably find a good resource in the http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/ directory.

Vb does have it's uses. You can write some handy DLLs with it to serve as COM components. And it is probably the most widely-used langauge on the planet at the moment.

Check http://www.codehound.com
and http://www.vbtothemax.com

That said, I love PHP, but also consider having some cross=platform skills quite usefull,even if I will occaisionally try to `echo` something in ASP
or `response.write` something in PHP before I make the mental transition...;-)
