Sorry, Travis! That crack was aimed at my cubemate not you! We just had a new guy move into the cube and he is the one I was referring too as a redneck...not you!

After reading your responses in the General VB Section I have decided that you are my hero, Chris......

You're entire attitude during this entire thread
Ah! It was fun! Thanks for the smootch :D

Tsk, Tsk, my language is better than your language...............
Get over it guy, know C, COBOL, BASIC (of course), PASCAL, and a number of languages you probably haven't heard of.
VB is fine, as in most languages, it's just the way people code in it that makes it look messy. Why we enforce strict standards, that from time to time l argue about here. It's not that our standards are the very best, but they avoid some of the dross we have had to support in the past.
Now COBOL, that was a man's language:eek: Yeap, used to love writing a book, every time you wanted the least bit complex program.

Someone should ask SuperSteve if he wants to join too!Quote:

Mr. Super Steve to you, Mr. CubeMate!!!
Okay, so I'm guessing my post was taken the wrong way. Very likely my fault I don't want to sound elitist or superior. I just don't think you need to worry about anyone using VB needing to learn. If they truely wanted to program, then the need to get a true language. If they just want to use VB, then they aren't interested in the subtlties of good programming.Quote:

I hope you're not dissing VB Ciber.So VB isn't real? Interesting. What is it...fake? an imposter?Quote:

It's no lesser language than anything else, it's a language. Whether it's easy or not doesn't mean it's not a language.
Yes, I'm dissing VB.
It isn't fake. It is a real language. It just isn't a very good language.
There is a tool for every job. I love Perl. Perl is poetry. But you shouldn't write an OS out of Perl. Guess what... someone is. :rolleyes:
VB is good for RAD. It is good for apps that you will use on a limited scale, internally, or products that you will not worry about supporting in two or three years. VB is also very platform specific, and any application you can write in VB, you can write in VC++ and use less memory.
To me, VB is a hobbyist language, for home use.
Anyway, the original point was... we aren't teaching people well if we provide the VB solution for them. *shrug* We aren't teaching people well if we let them learn on VB.
PS Sorry, forgot to address the easy part. I don't consider VB bad because it is 'easy'. In fact it can be very challenging at times to do things that I want to do (regex, pointers). I have a very warped sense of what is easy. To me, Perl is very easy. Perl just flows, it is so easy. It is lazy, too, with its loose typing and modified looping structures. But it is not a hard language.

Good point mate.

Was going to make it "Prevention of Cruelty" but then thought that might be a bit cruel.
Hey now, Jethro! Katie'sCubeMate considers it a priviledge to work with such an "interesting" person as myself...unfortunately, he rolls his eyes when he says interesting...what do you think that means???
I like Perl too, but it doesn't mean I have any less respect for VB. I find those who consider it a hobbyist language are usually those who are "getting on a bit" and remember the good old days when you had to get your hands dirty with cobol and assembler. I'm not saying you are like that, but that is my perception.
Why do you think it's a hobbyist language? Is it because it's got the word Basic in it? It's got shortcomings, but so has any language (like trying to write an OS in perl ;) )

MAYBE "Prevention of Cruelty" ISN'T TOO CRUEL?
Hey now, Cubie......I'm close enough to seek my revenge in person you forget.......I will force you to listen to Erin, Ian and Travis stories all day......oh wait....I already do that, don't I!
Apparently "parksie's duck" or "parksie's dick", strange but true:rolleyes:Quote:

My first years seriously playing with computers was in '93. That was the end of the glory years. Phone BBS were going away or gone, the 'Net was starting to become commercial. We went from the World Wide Web Worm to Yahoo. :(
But yes, VB is BASIC. It has the shortcomings of BASIC. It has labels and gotos, it has no pointers. It has been refined over an over again so it has single and doulbe point precision floats, so it can do OO, but... why did we spend all that time working on making VB less BASIC when we had other languages that were already not BASIC?
*shrug*
People don't like C/C++ because they think the syntax is to obscure. Fine, make a version of C++ that has a much more natural syntax. Now, if you start to remove the ;s then you will hinder it a bit, but that is still okay.
I don't find a problem with
But there are those that prefferCode:for(i = 0; i < x; i++){}
*shrug*Code:for i = 0 to x step 1
Now I have to change
toCode:for(i = 0; i < x; i += y){}
I don't guess I can do thisCode:for i = 0 to x
i = i + y
next
in a VB for loop. Guess I have to use a while or something.Code:for(;i < x;){}
Damnit, a smiley showed up in my code.
Where to begin........could be that sixties drug induced haze that has become katie's world. A place we all love by the way.Quote:

That's what you get for posting C++ code in a VB Forum, Travis;) :p
Damn it, Jethro...you gave it away! Now I'll never get to see him dance again.:( ;)Quote:

Hey, that code could've worked in Java, JavaScript, and Perl, not just C/C++.Quote:

Tell the new guy that his "Rocky Horror Picture Show" outfit doesn't do a thing for him. Would suggest maybe a Doris Day theme instead.
He's more of a Jackie Chan in Shanghai Noon wouldn't you say cubie??
Yeah, definately Jackie...
...and maybe we could get these two to put on a show, seems as though they have similar talents...

Er, Aliens took me over all morning, have only just escaped their mind control ray.
You posted it in Parksie's Dick....I mean the thread about Parksie's dick...the aliens have definitely got to you, better have a beer!
Your right, and could someone get this handbag off my desk so l can read the sports section followed by Playboy:rolleyes:
Your job sounds much more interesting than mine.....are Playboys required reading.......they have such interesting articles you know!
Yep, especially those fold-out centre sections...hard study is required :p
Never get passed the pictures myself:rolleyes:Quote:

And no l have not seen "Cats" 58 times as some one so sneering implied. It was only 57, the final night was sold out.
Isn't it interesting that stevess starts this thread to bag on us for the way we answer posts in the other sections and we somehow manage to turn it into another smut fest............we are quite the talented bunch, I must say!!!!!!!!
Did you expect any less :rolleyes: :D
I only have 10 more minutes and then I get to go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sooo happy!!!!!!!!!!
Although, we haven't really accomplished a lot today....did any of you decide who my cube mate is???? and Jethro..you don't get to guess because I told you already!
I reckon it's either num something or eeer something
