Week 2, Post 2(I Love C#)

Hello loyal fans, and welcome to another installment of fabricating blogs, or my 4th programming blog post. In this installment I will cover numerous things such as what I learned, what else I learned and finally, an awesome video made of pure awesome with sprinkling of powdered essence of awesome( seriously, watch it.)

To begin with, pace of my programming class is really picking up. What would have taken about a month in VB is occurring in the span of about 3 days. Although the pace is quite fast, I like it, and I actually feel like I am learning something. I learned quite a lot of new code recently. Namely how to get code from a text file. Also, just by looking at the code of how to rip text from text files into an array, or regular variables, I am in love. The easiness of using C# boggles my mind, and I actually looked at one of my older VB programs, and shuddered at the length of it compared to a regular C# program. One thing Microsoft did right, even if they did screw up with semi colons.

As well, we just learned arrays. And let me say, THANK GOD. Having the ability to use variables is going to make my life quite a bit easier. I say this because I have been attempting to make a side project (a calculator of sorts) just to help brush on my C#, as well get practice I need badly.

Lastly, I just learned how to create a error checking piece of code in C#. And let me say, the pizza program that I was working on and wouldn't work, still doesn't work. But now, it'll never bother me with annoying errors again. Oh the joy of silencing stupid error messages. As well, project 2. Look through all my old VB programming challenge papers, and attempt to recreate them in VB. Giving myself 2 weeks before I give up. As well, just like I promised, the essence of Indian Culture in video form (thieving drunks who have no talent, but are funny at stealing.)



Farewell readers, and come back for another issue of Blake is bitter about semi colons.
