Im starting BASIC and was wondering whether there are any good tutorials for beginners. I know its a bit odd that im starting this after learning C++ (the harder language) but I just wanted to mix it up. Preferably, I would like a tutorial about console applications first.
AFAIK, it never really took off. It's used academically, and in a few places in the world (I actually one of my local hospitals has something that runs off it). But picking up C# will be magnitudes more worth while. VS has a designer for C# just like they do in VB so you can make GUI apps just as easily in it.
True, which lends to VB being worth learning if some devs use it to make tools (especially if you plan to help make tools). Last I knew there was even game programming implementations of VB, but I honestly have never bothered learning a language outside of C++ and now I'm starting to regret having such a narrow view on programming. I feel it has ultimately hurt me more than help me. Which is why I planned to learn some more and started with Python, but finding myself lost in learning it as I can't find a really good tutorial for that either. The tutorial for it on the python page says it only covers a few features and isn't a in-depth tutorial for it.
Lots of people start talking about C# and use the term '.NET'. Forgive me if this is basic knowledge that I should know but, what is this? I know its the platform for c#... (well at least thats what I think)
Ok. I've decided to start c# and I cannot find any good websites. They all keep showing code and then explain what the program does. Why don't they just say what the individual words do??? For example: What the hec does 'System' do, and what about 'Console'? From my perspective, C# soesn't seem like a very popular language to learn as opposed to C++.
MSDN is your friend. Has several tutorials to get you started, and has great documentation. Keep in mind that you won't find tutorials for everything. The world expects you to be able to read documentation.
