Hi,

I used to work as a programmer using visual foxpro.

I am currently interested in learning visual basic, and I was wandering if someone could tell me the difference between visual basic 2008 express edition and the visual basic contained in visual studio 2008.

I know the visual basic 2008 express will be a lot more limited in it's capability ( since it is a free download ), but I just want to know how limited it will be.
I would really like to know if mastering visual basic 2008 express, would qualify me work as a visual basic programmer.

Regards,
Mohammed.
