do you speak english? if yes.. then you can code VB..
VB is so fucking simple to learn, Id say give it a good week of playing around with it you could make anything you really need except some complexed shit which you probably wouldnt want to code in VB to begin with :P -

Very easy to do simple stuff with it ... ;) will give you a better understanding on how stuff works too (basic) if you aren't exactly a "geek"Originally posted by rayadp05I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?Comment

Easiest way is to learn off other code and the msdn pages that come with VB are great, Learn VB6 and not .NET for now.. Once you have learned 6 then move to .NET.. .NET is harder to learn as its a little more complexed than previous versions..Originally posted by Headlessriddler got any urls or anything you could recommend?
www.pscode.com has virtually any code to any kind of program you can imagine, Download what you need learn from it and do it in your own code, Or use the code but do not release it with out permission from the rightful owner..
Hope that helps.Comment

.net much harder than say vb6?Comment
-
I thought it was a different step from VB6 to .NET.. Not "much" harder per-say but still a step, Stuff is more integrated rather than controls, Winsocks is no longer drag and drop its all code.. Alot of cool shit but not good for a beginner to start in, thats my opinion anyway..Originally posted by pr0.net much harder than say vb6?Comment

hmmm i think ill go take some classes in college on .net, i got vb6 downOriginally posted by riddlerI thought it was a different step from VB6 to .NET..

If you got vb6 api aspect you can get VB.Net down in no time, Hell if you learn any .NET learn C# its like C,VB,Java mixed in one.. its rather nice, very sleek..Originally posted by pr0hmmm i think ill go take some classes in college on .net, i got vb6 downComment

You can learn pretty much any language with very little problem.
However, you're either a programmer or you're not. If you're not, probably best just to stick to what you do well, and pay someone else to do what they do well.

its all concept, once you learn the concept of a language you can do it.. just have to have the patients to learn it, thats why i never went far learning C because i ran out of wooden boards to slam my head thru

Didn't mean you were a moron noob.Originally posted by HeadlessI understand guys... But I am not a gfy moron noob who got fooled by some lil script earlier today... ;)
I understand a lot of things around these parts we call the interweb.... hahahaha
I used to be a project manager, in charge of a team of 6 programmers. Real coders write code in their sleep. It comes out of them like symphonies do great composers. What takes a non coder, who is still technically profecient, 2 hours to write, they will spit out in 30 minutes.
What I'm saying is, unless that's who you are, a programmer at heart, you'll PROBABLY make more money doing what you do best, and letting someone else do the programming. Time is your most valuable asset. Now, if your time is not valuable, then well knock yourself out.

I already told you I didn't know you had a daughter, and as such it wasn't specifically directed at her. If you don't like that by all means you attack me.

and yes. if i ever see you face to fucking face im going for you with everything i have. caution to the wind. fuck it. win lose jail lawsuit wtf ever. it will all be worth it to me in the end.

He has an uber valid point though, dependant on your time, patience and aptitude, learning to program can be useful, or not.

hmm actually no...some people are much better coders than others....
it's just like design...you can learn basic techniques...but you're still not a designer...
some people will see a solution/algorithm to a problem MUCH faster and easier than others... else, anyone with some free time and a book would apply for a job at microsoft....
I know what you mean for C though... I was studying C/C++ exclusively in college (for 3 years)...that's a lot of headaches...mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation

good coders think in algorithm....no need for a specific language..once you know a language...you can learn others..it's just different syntax...the basic principle is always the same though!...you look at a problem, break it into smaller problems, and solve these smaller problems...some people are just MUCH better at doing this than others...
I saw some better coders (than me that is) in college, and it's impressive to see how they come up with good solutions FAST...I was still among the good ones though ;)mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation

Whatever you like. I told you I made the comment in poor taste, out of emotion. I really didn't think you did have any kids. If I had known, and meant it specifically, I would have said "I hope your daughter ..." and not a more broad "I hope your children ...". If you can't accept that and move on, then fine, I guess you attack me, that's your perogrative.Originally posted by brand0nso when you say i hope someone murders your children its not directed at my daughter?

Yeah, Logic comes along with solving algorithms and other solutions.. Thats why i didnt stick with C long i was sick of headaches, I dont ever make anything that needs C anyhow, Normal batch scripts to make my work easier.. Saves me a shit load of money than paying someone to make something i can make in 30 mins..Originally posted by SilverTabhmm actually no...some people are much better coders than others....

haha I know what you mean...I never used C/C++ after college....never had to anyway...
but I had some more advanced server/DCOM courses and C++ gets really interesting!...you can do pretty much everything you want when you're a good C++ coder...(of course it all depends on...what you want to do hehe and it wasnt C++ for me...
I'm still glad I did that course though)

lol if hes wanting to code bots and shit then he should take a nice dive in to RFC documents.. Coding is the tip of the ice berg for winsock shit haha.. thats a whole new levelOriginally posted by SilverTabas for the current topic, I say:
Yes, you can learn VB on your own...easily...
but will you code the next l33t chatbot?? hehe I say probably not...
I hope he just wants to learn to make stuff to simplify his life, Thats what i use vb for, Sorting files, Cutting text out of huge files.. etc.. Reg Exp is god of all gods..Comment

If you dont know then you are not a webmaster.. Batching stuff is a great way to save time at alot of shit..Originally posted by tapatioNah just confused. I dont really see why a webmaster would need something in VB.
Guess im missing something..Comment

ahhhhh RFC docsOriginally posted by riddlerlol if hes wanting to code bots and shit then he should take a nice dive in to RFC documents.. Coding is the tip of the ice berg for winsock shit haha.. thats a whole new level

hehe yeah VB is definitly good for executing simple and boring tasks!...there's really no need to use C++ for that anyway!... (yeah yeah some people will say it's faster etc etc...) but if you want a simple file renamer...and don't care about the 0.03seconds that you will LOSE by using VB...I say go for it!Originally posted by riddlerI hope he just wants to learn to make stuff to simplify his life, Thats what i use vb for, Sorting files, Cutting text out of huge files.. etc.. Reg Exp is god of all gods..
of course if you want to code the next Doom3...forget VB haha..(or better yet..forget the whole idea LOL)...mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation
