As soon as I left high school, I needed a small IT job, and that's what I got!

Using VB.net and Access (which I had learned at school), I had to create a management system for the dam's water irrigation contracts.

Twelve years later, it is still in use and working great: simple with a single task!

That's it! A boring story, I admit, but it's really nice to have something that ‘works’.

Le visual basic 7 qui n'existe pas: https://edi.developpez.com/actu/333282/Visual-Basic-7-n-a-jamais-existe-RAD-Basic-sort-sa-troisieme-version-alpha-et-se-rapproche-un-peu-plus-du-retour-de-Visual-Basic-6/ #visualbasic
Visual Basic 7 n'a jamais existé, RAD Basic sort sa troisième version alpha et se rapproche un peu plus du retour de Visual Basic 6

RAD Basic s'est rapproché un peu plus du retour de Visual Basic 6 sur PC avec la sortie de la version 0.5.0 Alpha 3. Cette version est axée sur l'expérience de l'utilisateur de l'IDE (en particulier le concepteur de formulaires). Il n'y a pratiquement aucune nouvelle fonctionnalité dans le compilateur. Ce cycle de version a été long en raison du travail effectué pour corriger l'erreur externe de Clang qui l'empêche de compiler sur certaines machines.Bien que Microsoft ait abandonné Visual Basic ...

Gambas - Gambas Almost Means Basic

For so many years I’ve been wondering but never really knew what happened to Borland and Delphi.

I hated Pascal due to how discouraging our lyceum teacher was and how ancient TP felt in the early 2000s. Plus I learned QBasic at school and then logically moved on to Visual Basic 6.

Though I remember that indeed Delphi was better than VB in many ways, including not needing to provide a runtime.

I've been learning computer technology

Somewhere since the second half of spring 2025. When the sun was already shining. And it was getting light. And at the same time, it was still cold and even frosty. BUT, closer to warmer days. Which are about to begin. I decided to learn computer technology. From scratch.
