So yeah... I already sorta know the bare basics of VB...6 i think it was, since it was the only thing we used for the 2 years of computer science that I took in gr10 & 11. We never learned anything dealing with the internet so I was wondering how hard/how long you guys would think it would take me to pick up on that stuff. Also, what's a good way to go about learning lol :S Since I obviously wouldn't have an actual teacher. Should I just go on random google hunts for self help sites and snippits?
Google is your friend If you know about get and post requests, it'll help. you'll need to knowwhat links get posted, and which not, as in vb, you'll post links that contain post data, but you'll also get links that contain get data, so you need to know the difference... Stuff like knowing PHP, Javascript and what not are always a plus, but not necessary. Just read up on any guides, if you know the basics, try using an http wrapper, connect to the internet with it,and try to get links with it... one tip is when you get a link, you get the source, but nothing else, when you post a link, your sending post data to the server thats in the link... just google around, and you'll learn
yeah, I have no clue what half those words are XD it was a very unproductive class I'll fish around google do you mind if I pm you a couple questions?
I'd recommend reading some E-Books or download some tutorials. Maybe some of these will help (the ones I think you'd need most are first) (Don't click on the links, copy and paste the whole thing into your url bar since neofriends breaks links with a space in them up) http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6 in 21 Days.rar http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Complete Idiots Guide To Visual Basic 6.rar http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Learn Visual Basic 6.0.zip After reading: http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Visual Basic and COM+ Programming BY EXAMPLE.rar http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Visual Basic 6 Database How-To.chm http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/MCSD Visual Basic 6 Training Guide.zip http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 to VB.NET.rar http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Visual Basic 6 Blackbook.rar http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Programming Desktop Applications With Microsoft Visual Basic6 MCSD Training Kit.rar http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Programming Microsoft VB 6.CHM http://ebooks.allfree-stuff.com/eBooks_down/Visual Basic 6.0/Upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 to VB.NET.chm Ebooks and tutorials are really all I can suggest.
