VB programmers wanted!

[MarxSoccer]

Um, I'm really bored. I think it'd be fun if a few of us got together, got an idea for a program, and then could kinda have an "official CF release" eh?

So, for now I'm looking to get the 2 or so other people in on this, then we can start a thread and get ideas flowing for the program


By the way, skill level DOES NOT matter. I'm always wanting to help others learn, even though sometime I might get a little annoyed. So even if you've just started VB or are still just novice with it, don't shy out of this thread

I'd like to learn a bit, for sure. If you need Vb, let me know..

Forgot about that. I guess we could do a series of programs, starting off with easier ones to get those who are new more fluent into VB. I have an insructional license for Visual Studio 6.0 so if you need a copy throw me a PM or contact me on AIM

Bump for the end of the night. I'd like to get this going

what sort of program are you actually hoping to make?

VB is kind of limited in what it can make.

 

[MarxSoccer]

Are you kidding me? I hate how everyone thinks that

(I spent four years working in a software house that dealt exclusivly in VB).
I know that it's not *that* limited and that you can make a lot of useful tools using it...
I also know that it's much easier to use than a lot of other languages,

however it was designed as a rapid application development tool for business applications and utilities.
hence why there are no real amazing graphical features or anything like that.

it's not really meant for writting *exciting* software... I was just wondering what the project would be!

 

[MarxSoccer]

I've made games before in VB so trust me, I'd no it isn't that amazing graphicly. I usually don't even put a nice BG picture on my programs. I couldn't care less how it looks, it's what it can do. Kind of like don't judge a book by it's cover sort of thing.

The project I'm not sure yet. Might be a few of them

Could we do something like this with Java?
Since I'm doing Java in school right now..and I'm trying to make a To-Do List :S
I've done VB in the past, but now I've advanced onto more languages, although I've had fun with VB.
