Best Programming Language

I designed a employee database software in VB and now i want to take it out of VB as a separate software. but the problem is that i dont know how to do it. so now i am using it on VB. so if any one out there knows how to take it out as a separate soft please tell me……………

Im thinking about being a programmer later on in life (or a career close to that). Im taking Visual Basic in a class at school right now and I enjoy it alot. Im wondering what is the programming language I should learn next after Visual Basic (by myself, with books etc..) and why. Thanks again!

I am wondering what programming language book(s) i should get if I am learning Visual Basic 2008?

we can programming in v.b but i want to know is this a programming language.

Not the visual basic that has taken over the world of basic’s 1st and 2nd generation and i cant even search for Basic tutorials without getting somthing about visual basic. Sorry… Also steps on how to use the compiler to make the basic code an exe(also choose the icon for the exe : ) )

What programming language does any popular software application have used?
Need a name of 2 pieces of software made with different programming language’s.

Or if you know which programming languages these pieces of software are made from then please answer.
1. Firefox
2. Clam AV
3. GIMP
4. Trillian
5. Open Office

Thanks 5 stars for the best answer!
Well I thought it was a stupid question, but I have an assignment which asks the question.
Help I don’t get what you mean.
Are you saying all of them are written in C++ ?
Do you know any other programs written in any other languages?
I need it to write about them for my assignment.
Any software, any program, any language does anybody know any software which is created by any programming language. Name and Name of language please!!

5 stars, and thumbs up. (Good answer rated) I am desperate lol!

Should I learn Visual Basic or C C++??? or another.

The software I want to make would ask the user to fill in fields and later save this as a printable document.

Some say visual basic is redundant now.

I am now starting to learn Visual Basic .NET using Visual Studio 2008 Express as my IDE. I am focused in Database programming. I am worried that this language again have it’s new version. Do the everchanging technology will supersede my knowledge? Please advise me with this matter.

I downloaded the microsoft visual basic 2008 express edition. I started to learn it but realized you actually needed to know the coding behind it. I have not taken a class involving it but I wanted to learn a little before I actually take the class. So how do you learn the coding? Also, I realize that there are different programming languages like ASP.NET, C#, etc. Are these connected together so once you learn one, the rest will be easy? It seems like there is a lot of programming languages to learn. I would like to know a good bit about the most common languages.

sorry i should have mentioned i have to use vb it is part of my course even though i hate it i am doing an assignment and that is one of the questions
