VB6 vs VB .NET? Starting with Bot programming.

beakon said:

After a bit of research, delphi does appear to be the easier language however it seems to lack the resources, tutorials and free scripts compared to c++ or c#. The fact that c# has tutorials specifically for web bots seems to be the deciding factor for me on which direction to go.

There are a lot of resources about Delphi around the web !


And don't forget the incredible StackOverflow community !

It should also be noted that Delphi has a stellar reputation for backwards compatibility so books that were written for even the first version of delphi are still relevant today.

Also, as another developer told me (and as I have found to be true) you should get used to translating code from one language to another early on. This way transitioning between languages of the same paradigm will always be seamless should the need to do so ever arise.

On another note, i just wanted to mention that if you think there is any chance you may want to get into any game programming in the near future you may want to go the C# route as delphi does not have any really good support for that sort of thing as it stands.

Zennoposter and Ubot are two tools to make bots without learning languages but you can use some languages with them. Just thought someone should mention them.

I think that C# is a better options for OP since he already know C++. Both are object oriented, but with C# you have several documentation that you can find online and take it from there.

As others said, VB6 is history.

You can call and use exactly the same libs from VB or C. And VB is easier and you have much more snipsets available, that's a must.
