Punctuation is A1 Supar.

Answer: You can use it for CGI but not a lot else. All a websie is, in most cases, is a simple HTML document.

What do you actually want to do?

Make a website with visual basic or write programs?


You can make install wizzards with it, yes.

All of it...make websites writing programs enz

You need to learn HTML (don't worry it's easy) to make websites although you can use visual basic to make them more interactive through CGI.


Visual basic is fine for programs, although not as powerful as C/C++ it's still a good starting block.

How about making your own games those are all written in c++ or not?

[Top Gun]

Some are written in Visual Basic. Go to http://www.gamedev.net .

You could write games and the like in Visual Basic, but I wouldn't recommend it. You give up a lot of low level control and speed by using Visual Basic.

You can write HTML editors in Visual Basic, but not webpages. You could write ISAPI DLLs for use with IIS, and perhaps Apache on win32. Other than that though, I don't think Visual Basic itself is much good for the web.

Another problem with Visual Basic is that you are locked into pretty much one platform. If you learn C++, you can code for anything, but Visual basic is going to limit you to Windows and Mac platforms (assuming MS is still making Visual Studio for Mac).

Well i just learning vb as a begin to understand coding and i'm getting pretty good at it after that i'l try C/C++ or c++

Seriously, C++ is a BIATCH to learn...........especially if you've got a compiler that doesn't like you........

C++ is a fantasic language.

Yes, I am, but I don't see what I do in the bedroom has to do with coding.

C++ is easy to learn. What makes it hard for most people, I think, is pointers. Once you have that epiphany, the moment where you suddenly understand how pointers work, C++ becomes simplicity itself.

Now if only the stream class implementation that came with the Microsoft libs had the flexibility of the GNU libs.... I'm going to have to write my own scan() method for streams.

NB:  Java has a neat set of classes for HTML writing (plus the outputstream and filewriter stuff is dead easy).   Of course, it's pretty impossible to optimise java*, but in this case it aint going to matter.

and Java is piss-easy to learn.

(if anyones had the..er.. pleasure of using Together Control Centre, they'll know what i mean......)

[USS Alexander]

Well do you guys got some link to java or html tutorials, cause i cant borrow books t the lib still have a big fine that i aint gonna pay:D
