Making a front-end that actually does some useful stuff is quite hard, you should start with some simpler projects first. --- End quote --- that's what i was thinking. like i said before i want to learn, so i'll start from the basic basic and work my way up. do you recommend vb6 or should i use something else? I should have mentioned that i did take a java programming class about 6years ago, but we did only dos type programs no gui, and i don't remember how to do any of it anymore. do you recommend java? anyway thanx for the input, keep them coming thanx |

Admittedly, I'm a newbie around here, so it doesn't surprise me that the link didn't work (although, it does seem to work when I click on it :dizzy:) |

I used Blitz+ for my AMB jukebox application. Im didden't even like Visual Basic to much (it may been me). It is a pretty fast, cheap and very easy language to learn. You even dosen't need any additions runtime files, like Visual Basic, it just made a pure exe file (wich is not very big), alone with the dll's you may use. The only bad thing is, blitz+ can't wait to the executed applications to been finished. But when Blitz+ support a dll, you can made your own commands in a another language (I even made the missing run/wait command in Pure Basic and compiled to a dll file, so Blitz+ could use it). Pure Basic is a another fine basic language to learn, but I guess Blitz+ (or blitzmax) is easier to start with. Pure Basic can made dll too, wich I like very much. Blitz+: www.blitzbasic.com Pure Basic: www.purebasic.com There are limitehed demoes to these languages. |

Hi, I think it is a good idea to start programming by trying to do a Front End. Because a simple Front End is very easy to do . And it is something you can make evoluate easily. Except Howard who seems to have great difficulty to make a Front end ... ;) it something very easy in comparaison of all thing you could do by programing. (Howard don't be offense , it is just a joke ;)). Personnaly , i hate Visual Basic. I had to deal with it in my professional life numerous times on lot of project of all type. And for me it is a bad tool. DELPHI is incredibly better and even more easier than Visual Basic. That 's just my point of view based on my own experience. Just a question of taste. I hate to be limited by a tool. AtomicFE engine is coded using Visual C++ , configuration tools are done in Delphi (the new (coming very soon) layout editor is in DELPHI too). AtomicFE could have been done in Delphi but i wanted to re-use a game-engine i had created few year ago in Visual C++. But if you are totaly newbie , you could may be think about making your FE using Flash? or a very good tool in the phylosophy of visual basic and delphi called Windev exists. That tool is really good for fast powerfull development in all domain. Blitz basic, is a good alternative too. I'm looking foward to see your progress! |
