Visual Studio/Basic and C++
I'm downloading this programming package from Microsoft. I was looking for Visual Basic and found this instead. I haven't programmed in years. I used to write in Turbo Pascal and before that QuickBasic (prior to that DOS 2.0 and the interpreter, !!). I wonder how long it will take me to crash my pc, lol.

Just curious as to why you are downloading this. Just for fun?
I used Visual Studio for years until I retired. Ummm, yeah, you may want to try and run things on a separate machine. Although unless you are really good, or extremely unlucky, there is probably not all that much you can do to permanently harm things. That said...do your backup man! |

I've coded in C, BASIC, COBOL, Pearl, Python, Javascript, Mathematica, and Matlab.
It can be fun. |
If it's just for fun then I suggest you kick off with C#. In terms of what you can do with it, C# is pretty much the same as Visual Basic but is more logical and easier to write in.
C++ is best avoided unless you want a challenge. The learning curve is much steeper, and it takes more work to get things done. |

With Windows 7 going to the history books in less than a year I'm well into replacing the old with new where we have 700+ employees. The stability, security and feature set with the new is much better. For paragraph 1. In December I left for vacation with some new server and database instances running perfectly. Then our document management system's 3rd party programmers got to work. Last week it was a junk show where our document management vendor and Microsoft support did a really nice job of pointing out their achieving 10 on the 1-10 scale of being idiots who didn't read the documentation. I hope they fix it before I have to tell the CFO what his pals actually did. |
