someone who *thinks* they know how to program, but in reality is pretty average... almost always don't really understand the inner workings of a computer... they get scared by things like call stacks, registers, pointers, assembly, or anything that has to do with the guts of a computers...

also, they are generally not smart enough to do embedded development...
embedded developer: i just hacked the can bus in my car... used a philips tja1050 transceiver, paired it up to a mcf5485 coldfire, developed the logger and gauge renderer in C (gasp!) using codewarrior and spat the image data out to the tft in my car to have virtual gauges on everything!

what have you developed lately?

visual basic programmer: an ftp server...

embedded developer: oh... cool...

A unique, but yet simple langauge based highly off of the original Visual Basic language. Criticized by other programmers who program in languages like C++ and Java.

VB .NET uses .NET Framework, which is somewhat simple to use. It elminates having to download large bits of runtime files required to run earlier VB apps. If you have .NET installed, you most likely can support a VB .NET app.

VB .NET is often sterotyped as being a lazy, or noob language. Funny, you can program the exact same thing in VB .NET as you can in C++. Oh, and easier too.
C++: Hey, what are you doing VB .NET?

VB .NET: Oh, I'm just programming a tabbed web browser getting ready for distribution.

C++: Oh, sounds cool, how long did that take to make?

VB .NET: Oh, only about an hour.

C++: Really? Wow, ironicly I'm working on the exact same thing! I'm almost done too!

VB .NET: How long have you been working on your tabbed web beowser?

C++: 5 Years. I'm thinking of switching to Visual Basic .NET.

VB .NET: Good idea.

Visual Basic .NET is the best programming language to date. Many people think it's noobish becuase I can create a true P2P application in the same time it takes them to code a message box in C\C++ or ASM.
C\C++ Dev. - "ZOMFG I just made my first message box."
VB.NET Dev. - "How long did it take."
C\C++ Dev. - "Around 2 1/2 years."
VB.NET Dev. - "Oh. I made a Napster Clone and conquered the world in half the time it took you to do that."
C\C++ Dev. - :-X
VB.NET Dev. - "Yup, Visual Basic .NET pwns."

Visual Basic 6. Used on forums to confuse stupid noobs, and have them search forever for it.
OP: "For this program I used Visual Basic master edition."
Bitch: "Cool, I have Visual Basic 6 but where you find master edition?"
