VB programmers, Friday Sept 5 -- Part Two

I’ve been reading your emails with great interest, and have discovered a little bit about each of you, what some of your interests are, why you want to be in this class. You will need to expand upon this in a discussion post you will create on the Google Group you just joined. Here is what your discussion post needs to include:

A) What sort of programming most interests you? Would it be something that plays music? Looks up stuff for you online? Perhaps plays a simple game? Helps a person study? Keeps track of who owes you money?


B) What kind of person would use your program? Is this going to just be for your own personal use, or would it be something you might want to share with friends, classmates, family, etc etc?

C) For that matter, would you like to see it posted to some sort of online software repository, where others can download it?

D) What would a program of yours look like? Would it have a clean simple interface, like the Google homepage? Would it be crammed full of buttons and other components? Would it have a menubar at the top? If so, what kind of commands should it hold? Or would it be something that only works in a command prompt window?

E) Will your program be able to save settings? Will it be able to create files? Should it be able to print? Should it be able to connect to the Internet? Will it be able to do some things automatically?

OK, that ought to do it. Please be as complete as possible. When you are finished, make sure to post your discussion, and then take a look at the discussions put out by your classmates. It may be that there are others who share your interests, which would be good, since we will probably have a group project or two during the course of this class. In real life, no one writes a program all by himself anymore: they're created by teams

Cheers,

Mr. L
