Hello This is my first post on The Code Project. I joined yesterday. I am a friend of Nish. I am basically a VB/ASP programmer. I've seen Nish spending half his day on The Code Project. I always wanted to join, but was a little hesitant because I understand this is primarily a site for C++ and MFC. But Nish said that won't be a problem at all. So here I am. I hope Nish won't tease me. Smitha

I think this was a reply to my post, since I got the e-mail for the reply, but anywho. The main reason I removed the VB/ASP was to appease Colin and because I'm trying to get away from VB/ASP and move towards C#/ASP.NET :) I've got the C# part down, now if my bloody Beginning ASP.NET book would get here I might be able to finally wrap my head around it and begin to understand the syntax.

I'm rather a fan of VB myself, Nish. There's nothing 'Visual' about VC++. At least in VB you can actually place objects on a form and manipulate them in the form. Makes life a lot simpler... I resort to VC++ only when it's impossible to do in VB. And I don't happen to think that that's only because I'm dumb. If VB will do the job, that's what I'm going to use. Engineers are essentially lazy people. We search for ways to make things easier, and VB does many things much more easily than VC++ can ever do. The right tool for the job is my watchword, and I see no reason to expend one bit of effort more than it takes to do the job at hand... A bird in the hand is worth what it will bring...

I'm still trying to find time to learn ASP, Chris. I really am much of a newcomer to a lot of the new technical stuff, and I find that, with all of the other things I'm involved with socially and politically, it's becoming very hard to keep up. I'd love to master C++, but it's almost impossible when I have a job that doesn't require that knowledge, and provides no resources whatsoever for learning anything. If I can spend an hour a week on it, that's a good week, and not enough to do much good... VB is great, because it gives me instantaneous feedback about the changes I've made. How hard would it be to give VC++ the same capabilities? Why can't they include a Preview Wizard to let me look at what I've just done? Is there no way that a control could not be dragged and dropped on a document or view object and be displayed as it would appear to a user? I'm sure there are good reasons why these things can't be done, but I'm too ignorant of the subject to see why. Perhaps some of our members can enlighten me... I hope so, as I've struggled with this for so long, and I'm in need of enlightenment...

I just made a rather attractive bag for a young lady to hold her marbles... She's 6, and I'm quite proud of her... The Arts are often neglected by our ilk, but they are important, despite their lack of commercial value. The arts of a culture define it, and a lack of knowledge about the arts of one's own culture could almost be a definition for the word, "cad." Sadly, we Americans are more guilty than most...
