    Re: programing school

    Get a copy of Wirth's "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" - you can get a copy for about $10 including shipping from Amazon. By the time you finish it you'll be able to teach programming.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    Re: programing school

    I'm currently at a programming school in Australia. The course has started out pretty slow, but we're starting to get into pointers and memory allocation so I'm able to shine (and not play games all day )

    Oh great!! That's all we need: A shining Nova


    I like the self taught version of programming, but that may be because that's how I started. The thing is, I find it hard to believe that you could really learn so very well in a classroom compared to working on a program that you have an interest it. However, I suppose what the classroom would supply would be the basics which are used in all programs.

    Re: programing school

    The classroom would also supply (one would hope) an instructor who knew enough computer science to teach you to be a competent programmer. Then learning what he was teaching would, as with all schooling, be up to the student. It's more difficult, when you can't understand something, to try to find the answer in a book - even assuming that the answer is in the book, which isn't always true.

    Re: programing school

    I can help you with VB6. Do you have a program you would like to write?
    Also, look at some of my code. What parts do you understand?
    I can add more comments.
    Do you have Skype.com? We could talk.

    Learn programming, then learn a language.

    Re: programing school

    You are corrent; programming first. I remember in high school my programming teacher asked us to think about all the steps one takes to get out of bed, and how the fold a shirt.
    After we created our list, about five, he then created his list of steps, about twenty. Now I could make that list a hundred...well unless I use an object called (GetOutOfBed, right side, time, ...ect).
    This object would be similar to: (UpRightOneSelf....)

    .NET2005 Express is free. That would be a good place to start. You'd have pretty nearly all, it would be the modern version, if you find something you had to have....well, you'd have to find that, first.
