I would like to report that it is going much better than it was at the time I wrote this a few months ago. But I am finding that there is still a very strong opportunity to bit off more than I can chew, as I have done with my last project (an app for work that I am doing on my own time). I don't care what anyone says, I can see the value of classes that walk you in a structured process, and you get the opportunity to learn MVCs, and controller classes, and frickin design concepts for interfaces and databases. Right now I feel like my right hand is furiously working to make my click events happen in this program and my left hand is punching me in the face for thinking that this was going to be a quick transition (if not an easy one). Much respect to those of you out there. Learning this so far has taught me that it's not just syntax. It's designing the look, and creating the framework, and syntax, and after all that testing, and retesting, and staring at the screen going "...hmmm, I wonder why it's doing that?" Oh well, at least I am getting better about asking more specific questions and being more clear as to what I need to make my programs work. Not that that is worth more than a poop in the hand right now. :sigh:
Beginning Programmer - Still learning as much as possible.
