Caught Up In a Language War
Alas, C#/VB language bigotry rears its ugly head again. My book, ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies got its first negative review from a purchaser on Amazon.com solely because I used VB instead of C# in the examples. As I stated in the book's introduction, I chose VB because the book targets beginners who generally find VB easier.
Actually, C# fans are using the book quite successfully as evidenced by the way they've exchanged conversion tips on my support site. (I've posted C# versions of the source code for three chapters - with more to come.)
Interesting to note that Anand Narayanaswamy of ASPAlliance has posted a glowing review. He's a professional developer and reviewer who focuses on the book's content and is obviously not perturbed by my choice of language.
Okay, let's settle this language war the easy way - we'll all get right down to the metal by adopting to machine language!
