Visual Basic Accounting Software

By Kok Choon Kow

Visual Basic Accounting Software has been around for decades, and now developer are moving into VB dot Net, rather fast! If you are still using VB to create your Accounting software, now may be the time for you to move on. If you are not sure whether to choose VB dot Net as your platform, let me convince you...

Reason #1 - Visual Basic is dead.

As the title, you shouldn't be following the dead end technology, many advanced tools and resources will not support your old time compiler, don't get in love with your tools, move on to the new era!

Reason #2 - New King Born - VB Dot Net.

In the Visual Studio dot net, C# is best for utilities and tools, while VB.Net will be perfect for business related environment. Accounting software shouldn't be written in C# or C++, will increase the learning curve and complicates things. Stay with VB.Net and you are safe...

Reason #3 - Borland Delphi / Code Gear Delphi?

Don't even think about it! I am a Delphi programmer for the pass 6 years, and I absolutely love it until Visual Studio 2005. Delphi and Visual Basic is a dead product, if you want more resources and a brighter future, move to VB.NET. One of the biggest tools in Delphi is the RAD capability, VS2005 just inherits 70% of it, and I personally think VS2008 will over take Delphi in the RAD tools.

Reason #4 - Power of Dot Net Platform.

Do you know Dot Net Platform allows you to write the code in one place and run it everywhere? Including Linux, Mac OS, Web Platform... you name it. And now SQL 2005 express are free for desktop user, when anytime the user needs more connections, just upgrade the database, and you are done!

Reason #5 - More tools than ever.

Visual Studio 2008 provides more tools than ever before, you will appreciate how powerful the new compiler is and how many 3rd party components has been created just solely for Visual Studio!

After 5 major reasons, do you still need to wait? You are losing money everyday just for waiting, do something about it and move to VB dot net today!
