Since I've started using HB, I've had a growing interest in the programming language. Just curious as to how some of you guys learned, as I'm looking to learn more myself. Books from Barns & Noble/Borders? College Classes? Online Tutorials? Prodigy? Lolol.

Gimme some input how you guys learned and what would be a gradual way for me to start learning.

Thanks,

Thank you, I'll check this out when I get home from work. So, Visual Basic .NET is what the profiles are mad out of, or Custom Classes?

(Yes, I'm a noob a this stuff, but i gotta start somewhere!)

xD
 
I know, but was he referring to making Custom Classes or Profiles? They look a little different, like profiles are a little more idiot proof lol.

Either way, C# is what I should start researching?
 
C# is the way today.. Virsual Basic is not so important to learn

start with c# then if you want to keep going then try c and c++ or try jave a day. its a fun languige


C# is the way!

have to agree here, also if you want, microsoft has a good course (free) online that you can use to learn c# :)
 
Do not start off learning Visual Basic

1) Pointers. You can't use them. Period. (Not IntPtrs. I'm talking about actual pointers [byte*, int*, etc])
2) Case sensitivity. VB(.NET) is case-insensitive. So if a C# coder (like myself) uses the same name in a field, as well as the param to a function, you're pretty much screwed.
3) We're writing code. Not books. VB is designed for people who have never touched a programming language before, and is only meant to aid in teaching control flow. Nothing else. I don't understand why people still use the language after the first week or so of dealing with it. Not to mention; the required characters to do the same line in 2 different languages is nearly doubled when VB enters the picture.
4) It's VB. There's no reason to like it. Ever.
5) See above.
6) Too many people think that using the VB6 backwards compatibility libs are a 'good' thing. Without even bothering to do the research to find out that MS TELLS YOU NOT TO USE THEM UNLESS YOU'RE PORTING YOUR APPLICATION FROM VB6. (AkA: VB programmers can't ****ing read for shit.)

Quoted from the mighty penguin :)
 
Thanks for all your replies guys! I'll start researching C# on the web, and see what my college offers as electives or whatever lol.


Thanks again, guys.
 
Postman I would look into your college for a basic programming. It generally is a pre-req to Java and they will teach C++ (at least my college did). It won't go too in depth into C++ but it will give you a good understanding of how programs are written and flow. Order of operations and all that good stuff. After you get those things down it's just learning syntax till you get into OOP in another class.

Sounds good man, I'll check to see if there's any summer classes offered, and what pre-req's I gotta take.. If any lol.

Thanks again
 
was taking a glance at this thread, and thought about other coding languages.. and have seen lots of talk about F#, What is it? is it like c++? what is it implemented into already and what can it be used for?

ive been trying to learn c#/C++/c for a year i have 54 e books on pdf's have a book next too me.. for reference... but still get lost on what to do, because i have ideas on 3 pieces of software i would like to do

one being a bot like hb for another game and not as secured as the game doesn't have a game guard (warden)
then simple applications to reload a pc and fix its registry to my liking
then a whole network sync application for the laptops to desktops and outlook emails to be read at any terminal you are at laptop/desktop(away/home)

postman, you wrote my Advanced targeting, and you need help programing? i find that a bit odd.
 
Fact is many people don't see it can take years of experience before u are able to make some good programs. The basics for most programming languages are easy, only hard to learn imo is OOP
 
If you're an Ms fanboy, learn C#.

If not, learn Java.

Both have a lot of positive and negative sides to them but you'll only get a feeling for which is preferable by doing some research and writing some basic coding using whatever IDE you decide on. Personally I have little experience in either, however working for the second largest software developer on the planet and the fact that they recently bought Sun I can tell you how much regard they have for Java. ;)
