I was just wondering how many of you people used it.

I have 6 on my laptop - but not on anything else.

I haven't used it much really, been trying to force myself over to C++, which is one bitch-godess.
Doing a simple ASL error checker, and it's gonna take a little while to check for a few errors etc..

VB is nice if you want to build stuff for a consumer to have a nice front-end (generally business-type things). But working with C++ gives you a whole other side of syntax formatting etc.

or games?

Not really... If you want to build games you're probably better off with dark/blitz basic (although I have no experience here, it's BASIC and faster than VB. Also doesn't need as many runtimes AFAIK - they're also faster than VB).

C++ is better still at speed, but it takes longer in my experience to get anywhere, probably because you have to make sure things are 100% correct before you procede, while in other's it's easier to "think" they're right, when they just happened to be right.

VB6, but will be moving over to C# hopefully.

Alot of MMORPGs are written in VB, and thats what i meant by games.

All programs I write are in VB6 (including MPlayer)
I can't seem to load VB.NET on to my good computer though, but I'm gonna have another crack at it soon.

ok sort of new question.

what programing languages does everyone write in?

I know a little (and by that i mean ive tried SO many times to learn it its unbelievable) C++, a little JAVA, HTML (not really a prog language but who cares) etc..

I know HTML, VB6, a tiny bit of VB .NET, having read a book on it, QBASIC, and a tiny bit of javascript. Oh, and I once followed a guide in a book to write a small animation type java thingy.

C, but trying to convert to C++. I need to break a few bad habits.

quite a bit of C/C++, VB6, I did a couple of days in Java once, didn't like it much. PHP, and I can do stuff in SQL too. There's also SuperBASIC, BASIC and I've seen a little Pascal, which seems just as horrible as Java was. There's also actionscript in Flash which I know bits of.

HTML isn't a "programming" language. Also, CSS2 - although it's taking me a while as I'm spreading myself thin.

... I think that's all of it.

I forgot ActionScript in Flash. I use that too, from time to time, but most of the work I do in flash is just keyframing or animation, nothing that requires any code. I've tried many times to start a game, but I just can't get a good storyline out of my head.

very open question !

1) yes blabla
2) yes blabla

couldn't you add

1) yes blabla
2) yes blabla
3) no
4) no, it really su***

good point i was thinking that my self.....

I forgot a teeny bit of assembler - but I don't want to know any more of that then I have to.

And pretty much languages are very distinct - they allow you to create programs.
Flash MX moved away from normal Flash AFAIK, in being able to create windows applications - not just a flash animation which was an executable.
I haven't used flash MX as yet, but action script is alot like Java in that you need a VM to run it. It's alot more graphical/OO IMO - but I don't know about creating your own types etc.

So Farvardin - if you want to describe why the question is open, then please - go ahead.
I think it's very distint, in asking for "programming languages" and not "computer languages".

BTW Elex... Veni, vidi, vici = "I came, I saw, I conqoured"...
Aromator = nothing... aro is to plow, and matar is mother.. so the closest I could think is "I came, I saw, I plowed mother"?

would just like to say:


i did try and add a : no wtf are you talking about!? option but it wouldnt let me have more than 2 options.

ok new open question.
what kind of aplications does every1 make?

it depends. I make apps that help us hack the school computers and use functions that we normally can't, as well as other like MPlayer.

Not alot really.
My Server PC running 24/7 is kind of noisy and takes up alot of electricity, so I don't get around to much PHP or SQL.

the C++ stuff I'm just getting used to and am doing an ASL error checker at the moment.

I started off doing a simple Movie list-er in VB6, but stopped after 5 minutes and haven't gone back since.

Haven't used Flash in a year or so, haven't used normal BASIC since I attached the Sinclair QL to the TV - maybe 2 years ago or more.

So overall, not alot.
