Programming Languages

[dare]

Hey guys I'm currently applying for a job as a programmer and the main program their using is vb.net and asp.net, would give me a site where I can find a good tutorial about those programming languages?

I only know visual basic 6.0,C++ and java.

Google is your friend dare

Hope that helps

Thanks Kris, I just check the sites and maybe some pdf I could download would be be much appreciated

Also is there a freetrial of these two that I can download?

There is an "Express Edition" of VB.NET 2008 right here, it's a freeware version of VB.NET 2008. And I think with your background in VB6 and Java, you won't be having troubles with .NET. That languages is like VB6 and Java combined: each object (like a command button) has its own class.

So you'd see stuff like "Public Class Command1" of sorts in there.

Good luck with it dare. I am too, is jobhunt mode.

I am too, is jobhunt mode.

No luck in the 'male escort service' field?

Thanks Lean, it's hard to find a job now especially with the coming election

I am past the final interview in Solar TV. I think they're just gonna deliberate regarding my application and availability. I already told them that I'm willing to give up my teaching job for a spot in their team. It's a rare chance.

Also what I'm studying dare, but we are going really slow, with Borland (really old) and Visual Basic...

[Lean]

I don't know, but the industry prefers programmers with knowledge in older languages -- Pascal, FoxPro and the likes. All of which I have no idea of.

[kibaxx7]

^^ Yeah, Pascal is an assignment next semester I think...

[dare]

WTF Foxpro,Pascal and what is Borland? hopefully the company I'm applying for doesn't required those programs I don't have any idea about them.

I remember doing some very basic stuff with Pascal way back in Year 9, just a couple of simple programs where you'd put in your name and other details as part of a short conversation along with an animated smiley face and a Choose Your Own Adventure type game. Fun stuff.

I got to make a slot machine program in Java, for this Friday

[dare]

I think that's easy in vb, just use random code. I don't know about Java though ain't that good with that stuff

Banks for that matter, prefers older languages for their "mainframe" (as from what company I applied on to 2 years ago).

...a slot machine program in Java, for this Friday

I have no idea how to randomize in Java.

Mine then was an animated Christmas Greeting card. Considering it was Pascal, the animation consisted of changing colors and rapid blinking, which was not epileptic-friendly. I clearly remember being finished with it except for one asterisk failing to show up in the screen to complete the animation, good thing my classmate fixed it.

We made an isometric-view of a house in Turbo C. Probably the hardest one we did.

[shadowgrin]

That is a bitch.
I'd rather draw a house in isometric view rather than make one in a computer, even if the software used is autocad.

[Lean]

That was a school project. I forgot the codes how to do it. More of like "drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2);" in Java.

Borland isn't actually a language, it's just a compiling program for those languages (mostly C and C++).

[rise]

How is c++? i want to learn it. VB.net isn't used much for anything.

[dare]

Does someone know how to put dbf in VB 6.0? I want to try something

[rise]

Hey Dare,

I learned how to do it VB.net 2003, but I can't remember. I'm learning it in school right now ,but I don't have school til Monday. Ill get back to you when I figure it out. (my friend did it for me , but I have to learn it at some point for my final next month)

[dare]

z02, Okay thanks man

[PiksS]

i know Lingo dot syntax a bit....then actionscript 3.0 a bit...and that's really it!
