I could use a spot of help......

You see, I joined this forum because my high school VB 2 Class required that I find some nice people who could help me out with any problems that I encounter. Also those people that are kind enough to respond I will have to interview mildly, dont worry its nothing long or boring (ok maybe it will be boring), so here are the questions.
1) How much experience do you have with the Visual Basic Programs
2) Which version of VB was the one you started on and how much has it changed since then?
3) Do you use VB everyday and if so what sorts of things do you use it for?
4) What is the typical type of VB project that you work on consist of?
5) Do any of your programs get used on a daily basis for others in their work?
6) What do you like most as well as dislike most about the current version of VB that you are using?
7) If given the choice would you rather use VB or some other programing language and why?
8) What types of opportunities are there available to beginning VB users in your opinion?
9) Could you provide a small sample application, or some lines of code you have written, and then tell me about it?
10) Any sort of advice for a newish user of VB?
Thanks for the time that you have spent, even if your dont reply, I could really use the help.

oh and some of my other classmates might be using this same forum so if you see multiple of the same sort of threads on here please respond to them all. Thanks again.
Oh and the more people who answer the better! :bigyello:

1) How much experience do you have with the Visual Basic Programs
- Over 10 years now.

2) Which version of VB was the one you started on and how much has it changed since then?
- VB 4.0 and it changed a lot :)

3) Do you use VB everyday and if so what sorts of things do you use it for?
- Used to use it daily, just easy for making tools at work (automating processes), currently switched to c++ for game dev.

4) What is the typical type of VB project that you work on consist of?

5) Do any of your programs get used on a daily basis for others in their work?
- Yeah, invoice applications, data processing tools, ...

6) What do you like most as well as dislike most about the current version of VB that you are using?
- VB.NET is just VERY easy and fast to write window base applications and stuff. The speed of VB is slower as c++ (in case speed is important to what u make)

7) If given the choice would you rather use VB or some other programing language and why?
- VB: Programs/Tools with lots of forms that need to be made quickly.
- C++: Games

8) What types of opportunities are there available to beginning VB users in your opinion?
- Don't know.

9) Could you provide a small sample application, or some lines of code you have written, and then tell me about it?
- Sure PM me about that.

10) Any sort of advice for a newish user of VB?
- Have fun and keep your code bugfree :bigyello: :sick: :bigyello: :confused: :D :afrog:

I am going to ask that this sort of thing please be done via private message/or email... or perhaps via an instant message like AIM. To help you out I will PM you my own responses to your questions, but we like to keep these forums to a coding question basis really, and we can't have it flooded with requests like this.

I don't want you to get discouraged, of course we are here to help, that is why I made the suggestions for alternatives to thread posting...
