Chroder

PHP.

And have also been learning some Visual Basic.NET recently aswell in college

Ugh, VB.NET is disgusting C# is the way to go :cool:

(syntactically, of course, considering they both use the same framework.)

Thats interesting...
I have learnt an awesomely small amount of "VisualBasic" within Microsoft Excel.
Would that then have the same syntax as C#? And C++?

Erm, I doubt it.
VB is completely different to C++ and C# and the main connections are that Microsoft produces IDE's for them and the .NET framework can be used.
C# differs from C++ as it's supposed to be a completely rebuilt language, not just an old one with things bolted on (C++ is C with some additional features, it's not an entirely different language).
C# is based on C and C++, but it's designed to make programming easier and since it was developed specifically for the .NET framework, it offers better .NET support than the other .NET language variants.
I haven't done much with C# as I haven't had a chance to learn the language yet and my current desktop language, Delphi, has .NET support in it's recent versions (I have 2005 edition, version 6, version 7 and Kylix for Linux, but the new version is buggy so I may learn a new language).
VB.NET and C# (C# doesn't have the .NET bit as there's no .NET free version of C# and it's a pure .NET language) can be used to produce ASP.NET applications.

I usually use PHP for online scripting since that's the one I know best.
I also have python installed, but that's mainly for use with desktop apps I code (integration!)

Ok, thanks...
Could you clarify what the whole .NET business is about?
For example, what differs between VB and VB.NET...?

Far from it. The syntax between Visual Basic and C#, C++ is completely different. PHP syntax is actually closer to C++.
