Franzus, isn't this statement a little arbitrary? While I wouldn't claim to be a huge visual basic fan, I think (at least from my experience reading Jeff's book) there's a lot more one can get out of this resource than insight into programming languages.

For instance, Jeff has a great section on protecting users' data, writing test cases, and building community (like that of stackexchange).

I wouldn't be so arrogant as to presume I know what information you're interested in learning, I just wonder if not reading a resource by a smart programmer due to a programming language bias might actually work to your disadvantage?

Cheers either way!
