Which language?

[robsuttonjr]

I am really in a daze trying to keep myself focused on one programming language. I am faced with the problem of creating an application available to Mac's and PC's. Visual Basic does not seem to be a portable as say writing a web application. I just want to settle on one solid programming platform that can be used universally. I don't want to have to learn a new language each time the environment the app is used in changes or the layout and feel of such an app. Now I am perplexed by .NET vs the Sun suite of programming tools. Anyone have an opinion on what is the best programming platform that would allow creation of applications transparent to the OS/computer accessing programs developed?

In most cases it is a matter of comfort and knowledge of the code you write. If your application continues in the "net" environment, perhaps you should use a developer like Cold Fusion and back end with VB or VFP. Stick with what you know and can develop in with comfort.

So what are my limitations with using vb and the Mac. Is coldfusion the part that runs on the Mac? I assume that the vb will only run on the server?
