I would be the first to tell you, “I don’t know the first thing about programming.” I’ve tried and tried to no avail. Being a poor typist and having little attention span are huge problems when trying to learn to
code. I just can’t do it! I’ve tried to learn Python and Rube but I tired of it quickly. I keep think, “Why do you have to go through that to add two number together. What I need is a GUI (graphical user interface). Visual Basic Express is a free version of the popular programing platform. I’m going to download and install it tonight. I will attempt to get something going with it and report back to you.
I am always talking about Opensource
Software and I am a big believer in O.S. VB Express is not opensource but it is free. I just want to try it and see if I can get anything out of it. Once I get an understanding of how programming works I wiil try to go back to Python. Maybe I will never get it!
hi, did Visual basic work for you? it’s been months and you haven’t said anything??? – am interested in using it, am a new user as well.
I’m afraid I just haven’t found time to do it plus I’m also somewhat a open source snob and I just could not bring myself to use it. I have been trying to learn Python. There is a great book, “Learning To Program Using Python” that is supposed to teach you skills that will apply to many programming languages. I am 1/4 way through the book but I don’t know if I can stay awake long enough to learn this. I really get bored quickly. Try ether one they’re free. Any new skill is a good one.
