I have been an Access advocate for a long period of time. Although I do not have a programming background (at least educationally), I have managed to learn as I go with numerous applications I've developed. I am at a point that I want to get very serious about becoming a programmer and learn VBA hardcore, but I am hesitant to devote the time thinking that it's a dying breed due to the rising of popularity in .NET.
I love Access and I don't think the learning curve would be that steep in comparison to either VB.NET or C#, so I'd prefer to continue on the path of acquiring more skills in VBA. Am I wasting my time with VBA and should redirect my efforts to .NET, or Access still has plenty of gas in the tank? I would love to have some perspective from those who have migrated to the .NET world.
