----------------------------------- recneps Sat Feb 28, 2004 5:03 pm Who actually... ----------------------------------- Who actually visits the VB forums, etc i mean theres only 25 ish posts in "help" maybe we oughta learn a bit more VB! (I want to, but stupid school.....) and its kinda hard to teach yourself :\ ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Feb 28, 2004 5:11 pm ----------------------------------- hehe, I don't cause I know nothing about VB, but next year in compsci, we're gonna learn VB, so watch out VB forum :twisted: ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Feb 28, 2004 6:09 pm ----------------------------------- well my part of hte vb forum is doin just fine ( other basics ) the thing is that we dont have active avid vb users ,things only get used when people are interested inteh language and peopole need help with it , if you have problems with vb its more than likely you wont look here , the site is 90 percent turing ( rought guess ) and thats why the turing forums are hot ----------------------------------- Maverick Sat Feb 28, 2004 6:13 pm ----------------------------------- The only reason the turing section is hot because its the easiest program ever to find, download, and learn. ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Feb 28, 2004 6:17 pm ----------------------------------- Thats BS , we all learn it in compsci , and this is hte place to get credit for it , its the only active site , the other 4 or 5 have like 20 members and no forum , this is the only place to get help outside of school or have some fun with your code ----------------------------------- Maverick Sat Feb 28, 2004 6:19 pm ----------------------------------- Thats what i mean. You can download it anywhere and people who are new to programming which many people here are use it. And its the first one you learn in school. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Sat Feb 28, 2004 7:25 pm ----------------------------------- i share your thoughs on the fact that not enough ppl go to other threads... not enough ppl take computer science after the first year.... they take it in gr.10 cuz they think its fun to sit infront of a computer all day... and its an Ez credit.. even tho it isn;t (for some) i will be heavily into the JAVA forum in gr.11 cuz that wut my teacher is going to teach... not advanced turing :'( too bad more ppl arn;t interested in the other languages... o well... it still serves a purpose for the few taht acually use this site for other then Turing... and thats funny cuz i was just thinking on posted a thread about this, like late last night... crzy ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sat Feb 28, 2004 11:44 pm ----------------------------------- vb is lame. you may be able to make more interesting/powerful programs or whatever with it, but it's not gonna teach you the fundamentals of programming like turing, c/c++, java, etc do ----------------------------------- Maverick Sat Feb 28, 2004 11:47 pm ----------------------------------- And u can use it with LEDS and shiz thats why i like it. ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sun Feb 29, 2004 11:12 am ----------------------------------- that's most likely just output to the parallel or serial port which even turing can do lol ----------------------------------- Acid Sun Feb 29, 2004 5:22 pm ----------------------------------- The VB forums are pretty much the only ones I visit since it's the only language I come even close to knowing. ----------------------------------- jonos Sun Feb 29, 2004 5:57 pm ----------------------------------- i was into vb for about 5 days but it got boring after making my 10th or something app. its cool at first because its pretty easy, but then it gets bor4ing. blitz is really fun though. ----------------------------------- Dan Mon Mar 01, 2004 5:20 pm ----------------------------------- peronaly i dont like VB, i dont like many (probly any) of the langs M$ makes. also the fact that it only works on windows and even then it gives u shit about dll files dose not help it any. ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Mar 01, 2004 9:29 pm ----------------------------------- well if any one should go around and help ppl it's gotto be me... but there's one problem. I dun got VB anymore and i aint workin with it anymore. so sometimes i can't help people. so i prolly should ask Dan to .take me off VBMOD :? ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Mar 02, 2004 10:12 pm ----------------------------------- so i prolly should ask Dan to .take me off VBMOD :? pff, i am to lazzy to do that. u still know more about it then me. lol ----------------------------------- da_foz Wed Mar 03, 2004 2:49 pm ----------------------------------- Where are you that they are teaching VB? I learnt it in highschool have have not touched it since. Did 2 years of Turning, then in OAC did VB. Took me about a week of class to learn the basics. We did not get into much advanced stuff. Personaly I rather something where I can code it myself. Just makes me happier, although Java Swing can be a real pain. The thing VB is great for (I have not used it for this as of yet) is protoyping a design. You can make a layout and let people see it very quickly. They click on around a bit to see where things take them, but nothing actually works. Great for testing, or so they tell us in school (University). ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Mar 03, 2004 3:47 pm ----------------------------------- that's interesting. probaly not what ms wanted, but ha ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Mar 03, 2004 4:59 pm ----------------------------------- so i prolly should ask Dan to .take me off VBMOD :? pff, i am to lazzy to do that. u still know more about it then me. lol lol death trap.. once u get in .. there's no way out :shock: ----------------------------------- Brightguy Wed Mar 03, 2004 8:37 pm Re: Who actually... ----------------------------------- Actually VB is my primary language. Besides Turing, that's the only language they teach at my school. But after the first month or two there's actually very little teaching, just heaps of programs to write... I've read up on C++ but haven't used it very often, unfortunately. So anyway, if you're looking for a more active VB board maybe I'll stick around there. I'd be happy to offer any help that I can. :)
