HTML is not even Turing complete. Add CSS3 and perhaps you have a chance:...
What if I say: Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana? :-)
I have not tried but I believe you can use VB with ASP. Have you looked into other web technologies? Nowadays the "hot" technology shifts...
Of course not. This is why .NET offers so many choices! :-) VB is actually pretty good at describing business logic. Again, I would recommend...
VB is no doubt a good tool for Windows desktop applications. It is really easy to build a simple UI. However, its power really comes from .NET...
It depends on what you want to do. If you want a job at a web start up, learn Python/Ruby-on-Rails/Java/Groovy. If you want a job at a HFT...
