In any case, VB.NET was great for me, so I'd definitely like to learn the others that Microsoft has to offer. |
One thing you could do is try to rewrite all your VB.NET lab assignments in C# or Java. Generally "translating" isn't nearly as hard as writing all new programs, and it'll get you used to the new language.
