Talk Tech With Jack

First Look at VB Express Programming: If you ever thought that programming was to hard to learn, or if you always felt you would like to learn how to make the computer do what you want it to do, and give it a little bit about you, then this and the next few shows are for you. I have been programming using VB 6 for years and have now moved over to Visual Studio to give my programming a new look and feel of Windows Vista. You will now be able to write programs that will run on 2000, XP and Vista. Have FUN! Click to listen or RIGHT click to DOWNLOAD: ttwjepisode112.mp3

NO SHOW BUT, I always feel that even if I dont get a show recorded I still want you to know what is going on with my days.

The software will then import these audits and you will be able to better track your inventory. Next week we will begin looking at VB Express which is the new VB.NET programming IDE but it is FREE. You can still learn something about programming and see if you want to step up to Visual Studio 2005.
