This forum has been a huge asset to me, as I've been learning how to accomplish different taks with VB. I know that we all benefit from each others' experience and expertise.
I've been curious, if this isn't too intrusive, to know when/where you use VB the most.
I guess I fall into the hobbiest category. I have a BS in Computer Science, but am unfortunately unemployed right now. So I am spending my time working on a program to be used in a testing class.
It's purely for pleasure.

Normally fun, but i did have some coursework that i asked for help with.
Why isnt there a fun AND work category. I started out in VB becasue i saw people getting Denial of service attacks in AOL chatrooms and i wanted to know how to do that:D Basically it would boot them offline. Ofcourse we had Anti Punters(heh punters, getting booted) which would stop a denial of service attack.
At that time i didn;t even know there was a market for VB programmers in the real world. I thought it was just a game. So I learned a little and went from there. I finally realized i could make money at it after i found this forum:D
I will soon be an MCP(2 weeks from now) and start looking for a real job doing what i love!:D
I made the poll so you could select more than one answer.Quote:

I gotta say I really envy you guys that picked this up for fun. I guess I needed the structure/motivation of school to really learn programming (though I learned VB after I graduated from college). It actually wasn't until I was out of college that I realized how much I love programming. I think the stress of school/assignments overshadowed my enjoyment of it. That, and it took me a while to learn to take getting stuck in stride, and it was par for the course. :)
fun and work :)
work.
lots and lots of work....:(
I did my college final project in C++ and sweated bullets to get the darned thing to work. Then rewrote the thing in 2 days in VB and thus decided that VB was the way for me to go.
I came here to get stoned. But you didn't include that as a choice.
Lots of interest create becoz of VB
Vb make my programming world full of enjoyment,:p :p
for me Vb knowledge become deeper and deeper day by day,
The more you into deep, you find yourself confident about vb ,

:cool:
I'm here for both fun and school. Fun 'cause I like making apps for myself and school, yeah I still need to pass grades... :)
Mainly work here... If I get stuck on a problem I start to post and usualy figure out what I did wrong before I hit submit. But occasionaly I 'take a break' and read/answer other posts (like right now :))

You mean, . . . I could get paid to do this???????
*Faints*
For fun.
Its soooo awesome to be getting paid to do what I love. Sometimes I go home after work and go straight into my own projects so i'm programming 16 hrs a day :)Quote:

Wellllllllllll
I get paid to do it at my job. And i should add that I probably would have been fired if it wasnt for this website! lol
I also use this site in my spare time to answer questions (i cant answer many but i try) and also to learn new things.
I DO take VB classes in school but I don't think I need this website for that since i had 102% in that class LOL
This is a great site though! I wish there was one of these for ALL types of programming languages with as many people as are here.
Hopefully, one day I will be also.
My dream is to produce some programs on my own, on my Web site and have people buying them so that I have income and can keep creating more and more and one day I shall rule the world.
Oh, damn, Bill Gates already beat me to the punch.
:confused:
I started learning vb for fun, then as I got better at it I realized I could use this at work to make some things a lot easier on me. Now they have me doing all sorts of neat little projects, nothing ever real big or too complicated, just little things to make the stuff we do easier, faster, and/or more efficient.
I come to the forum mostly for fun, also to learn, you can learn so much just by reading along and searching, also to help when ever I can because so many people have helped me.

Fun answering questions, asking questions, meeting other computer geeks like myself.
I think it's fun gettin a big fat paycheck at the end of the week
to do something that is actually more enjoyable than lifting
heavy things and moving them from basket to basket or having
buckets of nails dropping on my head.
and lord knows I've had more than my share of things dropped on my head.
Well, I'm in college but interning at a custom computer manufacturer and I just got thrown into the software engineering group. Well, they gave me a project to do and it had a lot of database work. I had experience with C\++ but they said I could also use VB if I wanted to. So I picked it up and now I use it to do fun stuff at home too.
i like it coz i can make little proggys at home to do little jobs that i need doing in about 10 mins :)
Like what? I just want to know what you've written that make life better at home. :)Quote:

No idea why I'm here except for the C++ forum :D
Oh, and merciless chatting :p
Can't forget the chatting ;)
I only came in for tips on animal husbandry... thanks ever so much Jello :)
wow. its surprising how freaky some of the people here are. makes me feel more at home now :D
