He might not be, tell him to code you a basic program or something. VB is easy, I can code it and I'm 13.
Ok im not trying to call you a lier (well i am) but many people think they know vb and they really don't knowing a language involves being able to use every component that would be knowing it i'm fairly confident that a 13 year old cant do so just an opinion you are probably along the lines of a noob and a i suck vb coder this kind of post irritates me as ive been studying VB/VB.net (there is a difference) for 5 years and still do not have the ability to say that i know VB and also VB is NOT easy once you get in deep enough it can be VERY difficult.
also on a side note if you don't believe me about studying VB for 5 years i'm going to be releasing something soon that will serve as proof for this post.
