Can someone summarise for me the advantages/disadvantages of using a .net language instead of traditional vb for example.
I've a job interview soon, though the person interviewing me knows that I have experience in totally the wrong languages there after he is not too worried about it, but I thought I'd best be able to show some kind of knowledge and waffle convincingly.
I'm from a delphi background, pre .net, and they are currently using visual basic but wanting to move to vb.net a soon as a customer comes along whose requirements are for something that justifies some green field development.
They also do some web development using java and asp, which I have no experience in but again they said dont worry, but I'd like to know what a typical development environment for this kind of work would be, would the best IDE for asp be notepad
