Best visual programming language?


Question

Hi,

Basically I'd like some suggestions on what program I should use to start doing desktop programming. I'd say I was fairly advanced with PHP and mySQL.

I want to eventually program for Linux, so VB and VB.net are not really my choices. I would like an open source based lanaguage aswell :).

C#. Free IDE by Borland is available called C#Builder Personal Edition

Borland C++Builder / Delphi are a piece of cake to use. (not free)

Microsoft Visual C++ (MFC) is slightly more tricky, but my personal choice. (not free)

Is it cross platform (ie, I will be able to use it on Linux in the future?)

Once Mono (a Linux .net implementation) is completed, all .net languages (incl. VB.net and C#) will be able to be complied for and used on Linux and Mac OS X.

Are you saying they include the source files for their libraries? yes i am aware of that, but the programming language itself is not open source. Recently IBM has sent an open letter to Sun urging them to make Java open source.

C# or VB.NET would be advisable. Currently VB has more functions and C#, but MS is working on adding these to C#. Basically, what syntax do you prefer?
