Dear Kevork and colleagues

Kevork, your understanding is correct, hence C# is an approved language.

Hi Ben,

My understanding was that the "Visual" was removed from the language names to allow all forms of a language to make it more general and inclusive.
I asked the same question of C# and the answer is you can use the Visual version or distribution.

Hey all,

Just a quick query about choosing a programming language for Software Development:

I have seen the list of languages that are approved for this year, will this change much for next year? (2011 is when we intend to start up software dev at our school).

At the moment our school has Visual Studio 2005 (I think). It looks like the only language we can use from this is Visual Basic .NET?

Why can't we use Visual C# - but we can use C#?????

Our school is looking into the cost of starting Software Development, so any suggestions on cheaper options of languages that Schools are using this year would be much appreciated!

Thanks so much for your help and time.
