Anyone know anything about Visual Basic 6.0??

i'm taking this class this semester...i just downloaded the entire program off of kazaa!!! it's a $200 program!! anyway, just wanted to let everyone know how kick-ass kazaa is...now i don't have to go in that hot-ass, stuffy computer lab at school!

No, I don't know anything about VB 6. Do you?

A little, what do you want to know?

No, but I will...only had 1 class so far...

used to......easy to maneuver around in and code in. everything's set up, you just tell it what to do. took a few classes back in the day. got a book called VB for dummies which helps a lot

i wanted to dl it on Kazaa...... i typed in Visual Basic 6.0 a whole bunch of stuff came out i didn't know what to dl can you tell me which one you dled????

VB is used for RAD (rapid appication development). sometimes you can make a program without even writing a single line of code. also, basic is one of the worst programming languages to learn on. it teaches horrible programming practices and entices the novice programming to create "spagetti" code and never understand data types.

"It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."
-- Dijkstra

for those of you who don't know who Edgar Dijkstra is...he is to computer science as Einstein is to physics.

basic bashing being done, it is good for creating small simple programs, interfaces to databases, some web programming, etc...again its main focus is >fast< development time at the cost of efficiency and speed.

I had VB about 2 years ago...so boring

i have no doubt you are correct. i have had previously: COBOL, Javascript and HTML..they all seem much harder than VB

Bash dl the visual basic 6.0.exe file. Aint any harder then that bro.

ok cool thanks guys
