I'm writing code for a program in my college class, Its in my book.

I'm in visual studio 2010 and to be honest, I need to learn this shit faster.

Like strings, if statements, parse, and how to do integer adding, dividing, multiplying, subtracting, etc.

I'm pretty much making buttons, text boxes, labels, its like a "Auto Sales tool for coming up with the cost of the estimate cost of the services".

I'll be posting more information, on my progress.

1 moment.

Do you need actual help or are you just blogging your progress?

think im taking the same type of class as you.

ive got some programming history but not with this VB shit, imo its a horrible shit language that i know nothing about (use to use c++, php, css etc as a hobby).
cracked 2010 vb studio and just about to start Q1 which is pretty much simple math conversions \=

perhaps our progress can somehow help each other?

LMAO

blogging i guess

strings;


if statement;


parse; I never use parse really, its pretty useless these days unless you are doing some serious shit. here is an alternative


Enjoy.



VB .NET is the most used language in the business world because it is so easy to learn, and can do so many things. If you used C++, then why are you even learning VB? And if you DID use C++, you should have no problem learning or using VB, its literally almost the exact same thing.

im pretty sure C# is used more than VB lol...

No, if you count every Small Business in the world, which greatly outnumber large business', they all use VB .NET for their programs/client software. It uses less space then C#, and it is a lot easier to write programs in.

I fluently know VB, ASP, C/++/#, F#, JS, Jquery, and PHP. In my experience, most of the things that I need done, can be done easiest in VB .NET. Even with websites, I do most of the actual coding in VB .NET over ASP. It's just easier. It's literally like writing out what you want done, perfect pseudocode.

hmm i've found that groovy usually gets stuff done with the least amount of code, and python is the most intuitive to write in. just based on my limited experience. the most annoying part of groovy for me was the lack of IDE support. maybe they've improved since then, i dunno. i first heard of groovy when i was doing xml. the ability to do that without a POJO (like xstream requires) was really cool.

i remember when i learned vb, arrays started at index 1. really annoyed me. but i think they changed to be index 0 with .net

I would say overall c# is used in more applications/programs than vb.net, it is by far the easiest language I've ever used, except I'm used to typing if statements with a capital I from vb, that's really annoying.
