It burned a hole in my soul when I saw how easily people were able to spin up threads for multiple downloads in languages like Java or C and I couldn't do it in VB6. You have to understand at the time, I wasn't here on VBForums. There was no Olaf or Trick to show me all these amazing ways to hack VB6 beyond it's limits. I had no awareness that something like RichClient existed. I like to think I can handle myself well but I know my own limits and there was no way I was going solve multithreading in VB6 on my own. I didn't have anywhere near the level of expertise to do that and I knew it.

    It is because of such a genius to join, so. They can use HTTP requests that are more convenient than any programming language. it became the number one programming language in the world, Because many excellent programmers have developed a large number of module class libraries for him.

    Open source world beats commercial fee-based IDE
    In fact, maybe 99% of people don't know why.
    Because if you're in the App Store, you can use your idea to create an app like Angry Birds, and you can make tens of millions of dollars.
    But in windows, the app store is almost nonexistent. So we can only develop a large number of modules for them for free.
    How to integrate these fee-based modules into open source software like Python is an important issue.
    If everybody pays a dollar, perhaps he had earned 100 million dollars directly, how can he still eat a meal?

    Maybe Microsoft didn't even think of Android phones.Maybe Microsoft didn't think of Android system and mobile phone.Maybe Microsoft didn't think of Android system and mobile phone. The windows operating system can be abandoned.
    If one day you turn on your mobile phone, you can develop a small software in a minute like chatting.
    Do you think Microsoft can make $100 billion from this? Impossible. Only Google and Apple can do that.

    If 60 to 80% of our work can be done on mobile phones, the rest can be done online through Android apps on remote desktops.
