VBA

[BOOGIEMAN]

Could somebody tell me is Visual Basic for Applications dead language
or it will keep alive in the future. Is Microsoft planing to make something
like Visual C# for Applications or I have to learn VBA too.
Question's maybe stupid, but I don't have expirience in programming and
learning new programming languages isn't easy task for me,
I need to know is there any point and use of learning VBA.

If you are reluctant to learn multiple languages. Stop using C#, learn
and start using Visual Basic instead. It will allow you to write
..NET application just like C# and also it will allow you to write
MS Office Macros. I doubt there will ever be a C# macro language
parallel to VB in MS Office. There is no need for such on the market.

Since you don't have experience in programming you might not
know, that once you know well one of the traditional languages it is
significantly easier to learn a new one although there always seems
to be a personal preference toward one language between
programmers.

Modern VB is a object oriented, fast language and you might
actually like it.

Hi,

IMO VBA will stay for the foreseeable future.

If you want to learn a general programming language start with VB.net

Cheers,
