I have never used visual basic before, so my tutor at college told me how to set simple applications up. So he asked me to see if I could make a simple slot machine during the weekend. He told me a few things which I would need to find out such as turning timers on and off, using random numbers etc..
And when I started, I found it pritty easy :)
I have now made a working slot machine xD
Thats the main reason its called Visual Basic. I just remember when in VB I got told the source aways comes first. Eg: what you want to change
example
textbox1.text = "hello world"
source/reference = change to
Ive never understood it lol

I would learn it if i had the program lolz
Yeah, thats why its used for people who want to begin programming :P
Is the basics really.Code:'Muhaha, Program
Option Explicit
Dim name as String
Dim count as Integer
private sub cmdstart_click()
for count = 1 to 10
Do
name = inputbox("Please enter Friend #"; count;"'s name.")
if name = "" then
msgbox("A valid name must be entered!")
else
picoutput.print name
end if
loop until name != ""
next count
end sub
You think we couldn't guess?Quote:

It's not exactly easy, meaning you can just dive right into it and code. It is simple with its drag and drop but if you go deep into VB, it can be extensive. It depends widely on how you use it and what you are creating. Well done anyhow.
How about you upload so users can see? (virus scan before)
My mom works at Pearson, so I get loads of free stuff. Me and my mom are going on a C# course and maybe vB, I might convince her. Good luck, and well done Jack!
Visual Basic is too.. well, basic, C# is ok I suppose, it would be best to learn Java or C++ though. Both work on all systems (Linux, Mac, Windows).Quote:

C# is more server really.
"C# is more server?" What?Quote:

That makes no sense whatsoever.Quote:

If you havent done so, try implementing a cash bank so you can see how much you win etc.
