How do you make programs

[Famoussaskater]

I've wanted to make a program like on this video for a while, not rs related but to be able to get it to open up, have a scroll box, have a fill in section, that looks like a program with images and stuff

If you're interested in learning GUI driven programming I suggest you try visual basic. It is probably the easiest introduction point for new programmers.

Try Delphi, easy to start too.

Yet, you'll find more info about VB.NET then Delphi

Thanks, a friend directed me towards Visual Basic, which is super easy to use and is exactly how I wanted to make a program, thanks

What I don't like about Visual Basic is that it's a bit misleading for new programmers.

Once they move on to bigger and better things almost nothing they learned from VB will carry over. The lack of C-syntax is one thing, and from what I remember from VB6, even fundamental programming concepts like declaring variables (optional in VB) and use of structured loops (use of Goto is actually encouraged for error-handling) are not learned properly.

Hell, despite being a beginner's programming language, some of the stuff in VB is completely unintuitive. Among other things, \n is easier to remember than vbCrLf, and what the hell does 'Dim' mean?

Also, in order to use the Windows API, you have to manually declare the function name, alias, DLL name, arguments, any required structs, instead of the much simpler method of typing "#include <windows.h>".

Perhaps my judgment is clouded by the fact that I am used to Win32 API via C and C++ and don't appreciate how difficult new programmers may find it. But, all in all, I would steer clear of VB.

C# is nice, though.

I know my first language (which I am still taking an AP in) is Java. Its pretty easy to understand, although it helps to take it in a school setting.

i always try to use the way of javascrpting and php but that in my opinion

Dim stands for Dimension. Its used instead of var because back in the day when BASIC was originally design, declaring a variable was called Dimensioning.

Theres a history lesson for ya
