    Should’ve done Visual Basic, there’s way more to it than dragging and dropping WinForms controls in the visual designer and writing event handlers to pop up messages when you click a button.

    For learning the basics of programming, it’ll do if it’s the only language on offer. If you ever make it into the industry, you’ll eventually realise that the language doesn’t matter as much as the concepts and you’ll have to learn a bunch of languages anyway
