Loads of 'sideways' forays into various unworkable RADs post HYPERCARD. Really don't like HyperStudio at all. Actively dislike Visual BASIC. The underlying concepts of computer programming were taught to me by a Maths teacher about 200 kilometres from the nearest computer; nothing but a box of counters, chalk and a wonderful way with bloody-minded teenage boys. The lectures at Durham for PASCAL didn't help me at all, so I skived-off and spent all-night sessions hacking away at the terminals. From then on I have taught myself all the programming languages/RADs I have worked with. And, that includes Visual BASIC as the lecturer at Abertay may have known Visual BASIC, but her teaching style precluded one from finding that out! I was given Danny Goodman's Hypercard book when I was working in the United Arab Emirates - while it is useful, to an extent, as a reference source, I must have read about 5% of it. Frankly, this Use-List has been the greatest learning resource imaginable; far better than wading through some interminable textbook without a clue, and without a voice. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
