visual basic .net
I am a PHP programmer. It is my primary programming language and honestly was my first (HTML/XML/CSS/JavaScript don’t count). It was clearly my first Object-Oriented language, which brought me to a whole new level several years ago. I often am asked to develop databases based off of Microsoft Access 2003, even though it’s already outdated and has millions of better options available. Because of my OOP programming habits, I found myself in the Visual Basic Editor tool a lot more than I was running through the Access-provided “wizards.” Because I have had to learn Visual Basic for Applications, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to dive into Visual Basic. I borrowed a copy of Visual Basic .NET 2003 (which itself is two years old), and began toying around.
Naturally, my first application is a calculator.
I often wonder if Collin will embrace technology the same way I have. Technology has been growing at a rapid pace before me, yet it was not always so. Will Collin accept the internet as something that just existed his entire life, or will he recognize the power it holds? I was only 14 when the internet debuted, but I’ve seen it grow from a complicated yellow-pages replacement to everything it is today.
If there is such a thing as a Collection of All Human Knowledge, it’s the internet.
