VB 2005 learning guide?

i want to learn programming specially visual basic 2005. but let me tell you first thing is i dont know anything about programming. almost new for programming world, is it possible to learn programming for a person who dont have a single knowledge of any kind of programming. and my aim is to learn vb 2005, few people told me that u must have good command over VB 6 or c or c++ to learn programming under .net environment.


can someone suggest me what to do weather to start learn programming or to leave idea behind.


i am confused, i dont know from where to start ?

VB 2005 learning guide?
in my opinion rather than wasting time in other language, you can directly start with .net but start from scratch and learn everything in order. do not jump from ist to middle level. it might take time to understand and using logic. first just start with basic things like designing form using toolbox controls. using msgbox/inputbox etc.





after gaining cmmand over basic things then move to databse programming i.e. ADO





good luck
Reply:I think that to start from VB is not a good idea..





If you want to learn the .NET environment, start from the c# (it's an ISO language).. and without use of winform .. but only from OOP arguments.. exercise, and also learning on network, web services, ado.net ...

Problem in Programming ? help please?

hi,


How i can write a Subroutine or Function in Compaq Visual Fortran which can find regular expressions in source code.


I think Fortran contains functions such as (Verfiy )and (Scan)


But who can not operate with regular expression .


(You can say a function that looks like. Net (match ), but in FORTRAN)


(you can write it in your answers if is in C++ ,but no laison with .NET )





Thanks

Problem in Programming ? help please?
Fortran ??? 1957 ???? it's been so long. Fortran you define every definition. Your question intrigued me and I find modern products like Zeus for the Fortran language. You'll have to google like I did. --%26gt; fortran RegEx





I KNEW there was a reason why I specialized in java.

Hijackthis log file, i have Dr.Watson Post Mortem problem pleaze help?
Dr. Watson is NOT your problem, he is only alerting you that you have another problem. Don't shoot the messenger!





The good Doctor is a Microsoft employee. He is not a virus, a spyware or any other malware. He wears a white hat.





"Dr. Watson for Windows is a program error debugger that gathers information about your computer when an error (or user-mode fault) occurs with a program. Technical support groups can use the information that Dr. Watson obtains and logs to diagnose a program error. When an error is detected, Dr. Watson creates a text file (Drwtsn32.log) that can be delivered to support personnel by the method they prefer..."


http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308538





Sometimes the Doctor will show up unexpectedly, then dissapear just as quickly and not show his face again for months and months.





I would not be concerned unless Dr. Watson starts to appear on a regular basis. If he does then you have serious issues with your Windows operating system. Often a reformat and complete re-install of Windows is needed.





Disabling Dr. Watson will only hide the symptoms, not provide a cure for the problem.

How to access IIS's aspnet_regiis utility?

I just installed IIS 5.0 and want to use the aspnet_regiis.exe command utility to register ASP.Net file mappings with IIS.





According to the asp.net book I have, the directory of the utility is:


C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[Version]\... -i





However, when I checked the directory, there is no Framework folder inside the Microsoft.NET folder.





I have installed MS Visual Studio 2005 before installing IIS. Is there a way to access the utility?

How to access IIS's aspnet_regiis utility?
This is a command prompt utility. To run it go to:

type: aspnet_regiis





if you need to supply special arguments to it, check online help.





Hope this helps.

Computer Programmer - help - i need help getting started. please see...?

I need help deciding where to start on learning the computer language.





My goal is learning C++ and becoming a programmer


and i know it's hard.





Background


-age 16


-softmore (forgot spelling)





i want to learn how to program in C++


%26amp; my teacher suggested that i learn visual basic so i downloaded the program from Microsoft.





Three question is:


1) Is there anything that i have to learn before learning Visual Basic such as XML or anything else?


2) What is the differents between Visal Basic and Visal Basic .Net?


3) Do i just jump right into C++ after i learned Visual Basic or have to know anything else





P.S. if you have any tips or website that would help me, please post or Email

Computer Programmer - help - i need help getting started. please see...?
My only suggestion is to not learn VB. C++ is way more powerful and VB will just force you to learn bad programming habits. Once you learn C++ you'll be able to program VB easily and realize why it isn't as good. Just grab a C++ for dummies book and work through the tutorials, then search online for free stuff, its really easy to learn.





To answer your other questions, .net is a framework that allows you to combine programming languages... there are probably few differences between VB and VB.net, just the way they are compiled and put together. You dont need to learn XML unless you are trying to make some sort of flat file database or are maybe scripts for a website that uses XML. XML takes like 30 minutes to learn so you might as well learn it anyway.
Reply:1) You shouldn't learn VB in my opinion VB is garbage, learn BASICS, QBASICS, or SML(there the same thing), or non at all(to prevent bad habits).


2)Different frame works


3)After learning BASICS(if you did), you should learn C++ right away, just so you don't for get any of the things you learned.





Note: your age doesn't matter im 15 and i program Games, tcp servers/udp servers, databases(sql), and i know several script languages. To be a programmer you have to live and breath programing, i would say after learning c++ i became much more of a nerd, and i am always thinking of programming and i always think of new ways to use polymorphism.
Reply:Get some books, man. You're gonna have to work your way through some practical examples.





Try half.com, or visit a large library (maybe a college library) if you can't spend much money.
Reply:The first step is to decide the language, visual Basic is a good choice.


The second step is to learn the interface for development, you can start with the series Sam's teach you in 21 days and follow the book from the beginning.


The final step is to make exercises, as many as you can.





Then when you are comfortable with basic, change to C++ or Visual C. The main difference is the environment. when you use C++ you are in a text environment, when you use Visual C you are in an Visual environment.





Remember the key is to make several exercises (the more you made, the best).
Reply:Hi!


I don't think you have to learn Visual Basic before C++, as the syntax of each is much different from each other. (But if your teacher says maybe there is some reason.).





Well, you can learn C++ language right away without knowing any other programming language. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ is the first link given by google. (You should have googled before posting.)





No, you don't have to learn anything before any programming language and XML is not a programming language. XML is a way of storing data.





.Net is MS technology which makes programming much easier. It creates executables which can only run on .Net installed computers. Current version of .Net framework is 3.0.

Once you finish a program what do you do ?

hey guys my question is what do i do when i finish with my program hahahahah the teacher only tells us to send us the sorce code.


but i never know how do i send the program to other people so they can see my work.





and if i send them the progam will it conflict on there computer ? becouse they dont have the .NET update ?





how do i make a program in C++ and on visual basic so anyone can see it at the end i mean,


how do i convert it to an .EXE file ?





my main question is... what do i do next when i finish the program ?

oh yea my compiler is visual studio


i got it thanks to my university

and yea i see a .EXE in the foulder but culd a none .NET or a none compiler prepared computer execute the program ?





i got


visual studio 2005

If the teacher asks for source code, just send source code. You don't worry about the executable and so on. Obviously, make sure the code compiles properly, because if the teacher can't compile it, you fail.





Ok, there's two ways you can distribute a program. You can either distribute the source, forcing people to compile it themselves. Or you can distribute the binary, the result after compiling the source.





There's three types of programming languages (this is one way to classify them). Native compilation, JIT compile/bytecode interpreter, and a source interpreter.





So, with a native compilation, you get an executable that depends on the computer itself (or more precisely the processor), the OS, (Windows binaries are different from Linux binaries), and any runtime libraries that your program needs (example is CRT runtime when dynamically linked). When distributing binaries, you need to make sure all three are satisfied. That's why when downloading files, you see information like, Windows, i386. Or Linux, K-8, requires so and so packages on the system, etc. Standard C and Standard C++ give you a native executable.





With JIT compilation or a bytecode interpreter, your executable isn't native. The processor does not understand the instructions in it, because it really is an intermediate file. Instead, you need whatever interpreter or runtime environment is necessary to work with that intermediate file. The intermediate file may or may not be OS specific, depending on how the language works. For .NET languages like C++ .NET, C# .NET, VB .NET, etc., your programs require the .NET runtime to be run. Without it, they won't work. Yes, you will need to tell people that it requires .NET. If they don't have it, they can't use it. Same with Java. People need the Java runtime environment to run java programs.





Source interpeted is like bytecode interpreted or JIT compiled in that you need an interpreter. Ruby and Python are good examples (Python can be distributed in bytecode form though).





Hope my explanation clarifies.
Reply:You have to compile it to a .EXE. You go to the Top Bar that has File Edit View...... When you have a program that is open then there is a Build. Click on that and go to Build.
Reply:I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but there should be a .exe inside your project folder, possibly in the debug or release subdirectories. That is your program.
Reply:Put all the files you used for the program into a zip folder. there should be an .exe file in your debug folder. If not you need to debug your app. Unfortuanitly any computer that wants to use it needs to have the .net framework or Visual Studio installed.

How hard is it to learn dotNET?

I'm a jr. in college and know C++, not using visual studio though, and I want to start learning .NET over break. About how long will it take if I get .NET and a book and start to teach myself? I under stand object oriented programming pretty well. What would be a good book to get ? any suggestions??? Are .NET programmers in high demand???





Thanks!

How hard is it to learn dotNET?
If you are fairly proficient in c++, you should have no trouble with c# or visual basic. Also, c++ can be used in the .NET environment in many ways, including the new c++/cli.





I recommend, however, if you are going to go with .NET, use c# or Visual Basic. C# has the most support of the three languages under .NET as it was designed specifically for .NET.





The best book for someone like you would be Andrew Troelsen's Pro C# 2005 and the .Net 2.0 Platform. It's a great book. It works for folks who know how to program, understand OOP, and need to pick up the language quickly.





It's published by Apress, which, personally for me, publishes the best books in the business.





Take a look at this link for starters.
