Hi,
I just want to know what is Visual Basic used for within the context of web development. All I have ever used it for is to make a connection with a database. I see a lot of web jobs asking for visual basic. What is it used for? thanks

I belive ASP.net is very much VB.

VB can also do CGI programs (sort of), but it is a poor solution and rarely used. You may also be thinking of VBScript, a simplified form of VB created by MS as an alternative to Javascript - it only works on IE. Cijori is correct, you are probably thinking of using VB in ASP.NET.
