| Styth | Okay. What's the point in me learning Visual Basic it sucks I want to become pro programmer im going to learn C++ any1 knows where I can read some tutorials and download what I need while I save money to buy the books. Is Cup Head giving C++ classes also? Or only Visual Basic Classes? I'm really dedicated to learn. Any one wants to help? | August 2, 2003, 6:51 AM |
| Adron | If you think VB sucks, don't learn it. Check Course Information: C++ 101 for info on a beginner C++ class.... | August 2, 2003, 10:29 AM |
| Camel | VB doesn't suck, it's just a bad teaching tool for higher level programming. | August 2, 2003, 6:52 PM |

| DarkMinion | Who says you can't be a professional programmer using VB? | August 2, 2003, 10:02 PM |
| Styth | I did not mean it like that. . . I Signed up for CupHeads Class. | August 3, 2003, 1:22 AM |
| Raven | VB is a great language to start programming in, and sort of get your mind to think with a problem-solving/programming approach. Don't listen to all those sup3r 1337 c0d3rZ who claim "VB is for n00bs". | August 4, 2003, 3:08 PM |
| CupHead | I'd like to see some easily (and rapidly) developed, high-quality DCOM components in C++. ;) | August 4, 2003, 3:35 PM |

[/quote] Or perhaps COM+ as well (the + means better! ;) ). [/quote] COM+ is not a language-dependent mechanism. It is the replacement for what was once DCOM, and can be implemented in any language. Having developed both ATL DLLs and VB COM DLLs, I can profess to the untouchable speed for which it can be done in Visual Basic 6.0 Professional or Enterprise. While my ATL skills are considerably weaker than with my VB6 skills, all my reading and experience with programmers at vendors (who release ATL controls for a living) state that the details of doing ATL are difficult as soon as you go beyond a trivial wizard-produced project. Frankly, I didn't see the difficulty, just lots to remember, not necessarily hard to do. With VB, its more like "create project", "add classes", "add properties, procedures, events", compile, package and distribute. </opinion> | August 4, 2003, 11:04 PM |
