> the teacher actually cant teach anything, he as the knowledge of Vb but his teaching methods are abysmal and severely lacking, but he said we can use any language we feel more comfortable in. some are using VB others PHP and some in C ++.

	Heh... My college instructor at least understood most of the
available languages (the campus mainframe -- 1978 -- supported FORTRAN,
COBOL, Assembly, SNOBOL, BASIC, APL, and one or two others)... He once
gave an assignment with "... any language he knew" as a criteria. So...
He got it in at least three languages! The assignment was a "hashed head
multiple linked list" name/phone directory. I did it in BASIC (which got
fun as the BASIC only allowed 4 open data files at a time).
