    Question How do you get your developed programs, "out into the world"?

    The only way I know how to is by publishing to a DVD; but how does getting something you make online work? If possible, I just ask because my teacher was stoked for a final I did last night and he wanted to publish it online somehow for students to see. I told him to ask the CS teacher since as far as I've ever gotten to publishing was DVDs.

    I don't know about that... I've always created an installer using Inno. Then I give the installer to my clients.
    Process control doesn't give you good quality, it gives you consistent quality.
    Good quality comes from consistently doing the right things.
    Vague general questions have vague general answers.
    A $100 donation is required for me to help you if you PM me asking for help. Instructions for donating to one of our local charities will be provided.

    I've published things using ClickOnce. People go to a website and can install the application by clicking on a URL. So, that's an option, but the application is still getting installed on the users computer, which doesn't really sound like what your teacher was thinking of.

    Yeah but that still sounds interesting, could you further explain the getting your application into a URL for download?

    Upload your file to dropbox and copy the download link. Change the end from "=0" to "=1" and give people that link that link.

    If you're talking about distributing the source code, then pushing it to GitHub would be an option.
