Question 11

Critical Thinking Questions Case 2 Visual Studio is new to you and you are trying to determine which of its languages is the best match for a couple of the projects on which you and your team are about to embark. Steve and Shana on your team are looking for a language that will allow them to create an application that requires a high degree of control; they are not intimidated by complexity, as they have been programming for several years. Which of the following is the best match for them?
A) Visual Basic
B) C++
C) Visual C#
D) Visual Java

Accepted Answer

C++ is a language that provides a high degree of control, but it does have a steep learning curve. Since Steve and Shana are experienced programmers, complexity should not be an issue for them. Visual Basic is designed for rapid application development and may not provide as much control as C++. Visual C# and Visual Java are not actual programming languages; they are integrated development environments that support specific programming languages (C# and Java, respectively).
