You should check out LightSwitch it's a fun new application development environment from Microsoft. It's about as straightforward to use as Access. More info and a trial here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/lightswitch

Probably C#, which is incidentally also the most commonly used one. Relative to C++, there are things I think are ridiculous about C#, but it's better than VB.


As C# and VB both compile using the same common runtime I see little to chose between them. Even the function calls are to the same code, the only difference is the syntax in how they are called C# vs VB. I've developed software in around 20 languages over the last 30 years. I currently use VB because it is convenient and fast to create applications. If the code is well written and appropriately commented / documented maintenance is a non-issue.


I think I agree, C# and VB are so similar they may as well be the same.

Fair enough - I'm much more comfortable with the C# syntax but I don't really disagree with you either
