Addressing many of the limits of C while remaining almost (but not quite) fully
compatible with it, C++ adds classes, templates, namespaces and a host of other
features.
Also it is easy to find people with these skills and relatively inexpensive.
PHP is an open source object-oriented language for developing certain
applications, Web pages, and in a science-fiction-is-now-reality world, for
developing other software itself.
“PHP” technically stands for Personal Home Page which gives an indication of
what the developers had in mind, but PHP is now used much more broadly than
that, especially given its easy compatibility with every major database language
and many other programming languages as well as working on every major
operating system including Windows, Unix and the Mac.
Developers are finding more and more cool ways to use PHP every day.
PHP is a hot technology so it is in demand but it is also fairly easy to learn and
the licensing is less complex and expensive than many other development tools.
VB is a major Microsoft update to BASIC, which was the original primary
microcomputer language in the 70s. VB adds rapid development, graphical user
interfaces, database compatibility and a host of other improvements to BASIC.
Being a Microsoft product ensures its ubiquity and popularity; indeed there are
about a dozen specialized versions of VB already in circulation.
The greatest strength and weakness of VB is its deliberate simplicity. This makes
developing in VB fairly fast and easy but some of the programming community
looks at it with disdain – not that you should care if it meets your needs!
