Self Migration From Visual Basic to JAVA

Self Migration From Visual Basic to JAVA After watching videos and reading e-books about Java , I unexpectedly appreciate the importance of class in Visual Basic . And since they’re both belong to OOP and uses objects, it will be easy for a programmer to shift his course from VB to java or vice versa. For a deadkid like me, it took a month for me to completely understand the ins and outs of java . I want to share my story on how I do the migration on being a javaman.

How to create Effective User Manual

While I’m thinking on things that I have place on the User Manual that I was working, I get an idea of creating this post. Here is my ways on how to create an effective user manual. 1. Address the document to required personnel or group of personnel. You have to state there that the document can only read by a certain staff or department. 2.

Microsoft converging programming languages

Upgrades to Visual Basic and C# will co-evolve the platforms together and bring interoperability with dynamic languages By Paul Krill February 27, 2009 Microsoft will converge features of Visual Basic and C# languages with planned upgrades to the two platforms, a Microsoft official said this week. Visual Basic 10 and C# 4 are both due concurrently with the Visual Studio 2010 IDE, which might ship at the end of the year. The Visual Basic and C# teams "were merged last year, and it's called the Visual Studio managed languages team," said Beth Massi, senior program manager at Microsoft, during the VSLive conference in San Francisco. Also under the team's domain are the F# language, for functional programming, and Microsoft's DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime), supporting dynamic languages on the .Net platform. [ In a related development, scripting languages are sparking a new programming era . ] Visual Basic and C# developers build the same type of applicati...

How You Grow Your Career in a Slow Economy

– Brian Tracy, CIO Always You've got to maximize your potential in order to grow your career. To do that you have to get more or better results than those around you. I've gotten blowback from others before for saying this, but you must realize that you're in a competition with everyone else in your company. So what does it take to get ahead? How can you do this? Here are some simple techniques to help you get more results and be respected for your work. First, work all the time you are at work. Immediately start in on the most important tasks. Do not surf the Internet, make personal calls, read the newspaper or make small talk. The next thing is to contribute. Ask yourself what you can do to render the greatest contribution to your organization. Go that extra mile. Do more than you are paid to do. Put in more effort than other people. Look for ways to do more. Remember, there is no traffic jam on the extra mile. You've got to think about your career like it was a...

Mistakes to avoid when applying a job...

Below are the pointers we have to memorize when writing our résumés…I’ve seen it in my windows live mail and it took my attention because I realize that it can help me applying for a job in the future…I hope I help specially those newly grads… Mistake 1: Your objective is unclear If the applicant chooses to include a section about his objectives, it must be related to the position he/she applying for. Likewise, managers filling spots for security, databases, Web development and other specialties are looking for specifics that show a candidate is a good fit for the job. Instead, something directly related to the position you're seeking would be appropriate. Suppose, for example, that you applied for a network administrator job at a community college. "Utilizing my experience to expand and maintain the network to enhance the pedagogical mission of the college" says that you see this as a challenge and that you understand the business of the place you are applying to. ...

Best Resume Format

Many job seekers agonize over which resume format to use -- chronological or functional? Will choosing one format over the other impact the effectiveness of the resume? Yes it can, but not in the way that most job seekers think it will. The two types of resume formats are very different. Chronological format details the job history in reverse time order, starting with the most recent position and working backwards. This format is the one that most recruiters and hiring managers prefer. Chronological Format Benefits to using a chronological resume include: * Shows your results. The reader can specifically see when and where a candidate achieved results. The guess work is eliminated. * Shows your range. A chronological format highlights flexibility. Many job seekers have held varying positions over their careers, often in different functions, and roles. A good strategy is to showcase that diversity. * Shows your record of success. The progression of a candidate's career, recor...

VB 6 controls looks like .NET

I discovered a technique on how to make your buttons in Visual Basic 6 into XP buttons... Just copy this code in notepad then save it as VB6 .exe.manifest then copy it to the VB Directory. Then start a project and try to add some buttons, combo boxes etc and compile an exe from it. You can rename it with your vb application (i.e FFEMS.exe.manifest) and copy it to your applications directory and take a XP look. version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="Microsoft. VB6 .VBnetStyles" type="win32" /> VBnet Manifest for VB6 IDE type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" />
