we have a big deal on our part. i am now a 3rd year college, in my 1st year and 2nd year our college taught us
java.
but now 2 new instructors wants us to use VB 6.0. we(lets say 10 students reacted) that we want to still use java. they said that its
ok to use java but when in RAD(rapid application development) application VB 6.0 is better. (java in netbeans is also RAD, am i correct?)
we dont want to use VB 6.0 because it is an old age (we are using an
IDE in an old age era) and not OOP in approach. But if he said we will use VB.net, we will grab that
opportunity, the confusing part there is, he also dont recommend VB.net. (WTF on him). i cant dig VB 6.0 on my part, then now our project is in java, we still insist java.
the problem there is he give big points to the students who use VB 6.0, and low grades on students who use java. and his database is in microsoft access. whoah! ! !
MS Access is not a real database right? it is like a playing ground for the newbies. yet im still a newbie but i want to use opensource languages that run on different
platforms.
the other instructor is he always said that VB 6.0 is OOP. wtf, does he do research? VB 6.0 is not OOP right? he also said about RAD in VB 6.0.
can you give me some advice, i want to argue with this kind of people. what will be my counter attack to this RAD thing or etc.
