      Did you use VB in your Freshman year. I believe thats when Microsoft came out with VB, 2002. What kind of programs do you make?

        I started with a learning language called Karel J Robot, which gave way to Java. As for programs, I write whatever I need. At work, I convert between XML schemas, do database specifications, write large features, whatever. At home, I've written a PHP based list that helps me determine what games I want to put on my 50 game GameFly list. I've also written a lot of smaller programs.

        The great thing about programs, though, is that once you know how to do it, you can do whatever you want.

              You guys are making me want to teach myself how to program. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. lol

                Thats one of the things that keeps me in the course. I can make so many different things that could be useful or just for fun. I can't imagine what I could do with Java.

                  Tinker around with it and I'm sure you can think of something. I like using Project Euler if I want to tinker around with some problems solved programatically. They're all little mindteasers that are made much simpler with some programming.

                    Is there a way I can display my work on the internet if I think I have something really good? Just wondering.

                      I'm not really sure. I've never felt like I've had good enough code to want to display it, lol. I'm not a huge fan of code reviews at work, even though I know I want to improve at my craft.

                              Where have those 2 been? They've both been MIA for a while. Dayman is probably partying after the Packers throttled the Cowboys. Ryan is probably in the corner crying after the Seahwaks got throttled by the Giants.

                                How about an entire program that I made that someone can download. Not just the code but the entire application. Or maybe even just the application file.
