Just great!

stagger@iname.com
Hi and a nice site indeed. I agreed with your comment on VB being messy; I know a bit of COBOL and that is so much easier learn i.e it is structured programming. Are you going to include a links page to other sites of interest?

amit_81@iname.com
Nice design you have here... keep it up!  he he he... liked that quote ' where do you... '  incidentally, I have a homepage too! (surprised?) visit it! (pleaaaase...) http://welcome.to/Amit_ka_Ghar

ohh... and one more thing --- i like your no tie campaign. I also oppose wearing ties.  so i'll sport the tiny icon on my upcoming QB & VB site....  Amit Home <http://welcome.to/Amit_ka_Ghar>

shamil@marta.darts.spb.ru
Mark, I liked very much your articles about VB. The absense of typecast in VB drives me a little be crazy too. THNX for your great, advanced yet very sound writing! Best wishes, Shamil

txaggie90@aol.com
I enjoyed browsing your site. I will be back later when I have time to completely immerse myself in it.

kollisrinivas@mailcity.com
i found your book very interesting.please update mw with tricks and tips in visual basic.

hassantahir@hotmail.com
Your site is really a very nice effort and a good source of information for VB Programmers like me. Keep updating the site and information regards hassan, Pakistan.

james.tollan@granadamedia.com
mark, have enjoyed your raves. you echo (and thankfully, illuminate) many ideas and practices that I totally agree with. I would like to hear (!!! read***) your opinions/ideas on generic sorting of base classes (i.e classes which do not have collection classes as their members). this is an area that I am increasingly working on and can find no SAFE route (even using the CallByName function) to implement. Any ideas that your willing to stick on (virtual) paper. Jimi BTW thanks again for an educated and thought provoking read

colin@k-c.co.uk
just looking in, at your guestbook example colinchapman@cix

tee@systemsenteret.no
A really good article (On Error Goto Hell)! Sad to say, I don't remember where I caught the link, but I've bookmarked it. I currently develop a VB WebClass project, and your error tracker class seems to be a perfect match. I'm experimenting right now!

atopolewski@impaq.com.pl
I haven't imagined there are so many important details in VB I do not know of. Now I know them. Thanks. Andrzej T.

Hi - I'm gobsmacked. It's a really good website and you've certaily kept yourself busy. Tony is slavering on the bike and the pilot's licence. Only problem is, I've had trouble downloading the guitar sounds - I'll try it on disc and let you know if it works.

aclapp@dia.net
Hands down, the best site I've run across... Great info; More please!!

bc40@pixie.co.za
Hi I am new to VB and to programming. Got a chance to proove myself with an educational software company. I still struggle to meet deadlines. Some of your VB stuff is ancient Egyptian that i do not understand, but I will get there. Greetings from Durban, South Africa Ferdi

quimbo@home.com
At first glance, looks good. Will forward site to my work e-mail and read further there.

B. Miller
Your VB tech artical are great!

Ade T
A very informative site, so I'll be back for me. Top effort, keep up the good work.

gordon.robinson@memex.com
I haven't actually completed reading your papers but there does seem to be a lot of stuff that will be of interest to me. I'll get back to you when I have finished my reading !!

jburn@gam.com
Mark I never knew about all your hidden talents - and as you are such a good artist how come you made that mess of my face !

JCorreia97@aol.com
You're playing is great! I've got an old American made Harmony 12 string that has a wonderful tone. I can't keep the neck on it, though. It's currently unplayable again. I'm into rags and country blues myself. I was surfing for some tab of Steve Earle doing Mance's "So Different Blues" when I stumbled on your site. Keep up the good work! Jack

tbaty@dps.state.ok.us
As an aspiring Webmaster genius, the first thing I noticed is you seem to have a clean site. Everything load fast, no clutter to distract from your message and good organization. As an aspiring VBer you look to have some good info. Thanx for the view... Tom

kcikowski@yourinter.net
Hi, I came across your website in my desperate quest for some answers concerning Visual Basic.......I have to admit I am extremely impressed, you really have it together! Hopefully, someday I can be as well-versed in the field as you are. Thanks so very much! Kristin Cikowski kcikowski@yourinter.net 5500 Rte. 259 Hwy. Homer City, PA 15748-6410 USA

Just read the On Error GOto Hell article. VERY useful. Thanks. Ian W

Finn@Gundersen.net
Very useful documents.

cbd@data-bits.com
I love your bug ................................. ............................. /* at least the fix is colorful */

captlaw@earthlink.net
You have good object-oriented VB programming knowledge. I code all my applications in much the same way you do, except when I instantiate my objects, I use the possessive of each object: ex. public CFiles As New CFile. I then know exactly which object I am dealing with. I recently argued with my team about VB OOP and their response was, it doesn't matter as long as the job gets done. One of the team members was a teacher, too. My response was OO programming is easier to maintain. I am now programming some Java 1.2 as well as VB.

Jim Miller ( miller.james@telops.gte.com)
Hi..... Just stopped to look around......I have printed 3 of your articles for reading later.....they look interesting... If you have time, you may be able to point me in the proper direction....I have been using VB for some time but I am not a pro. programmer. Thanks for your time and your articles.. Jim Miller

sbkwood@aol
A lot of your favorite players are mine, too. I also enjoy Eric Lugosch, and Eric Schoenberg. Ithink my numero uno is John Miller. His First Degree Blues on Blue Goose was remarkable and showed brilliant chops for a 20 year old (or 50 year old for that matter). Unfortunately, this album was only issued on vinyl and is difficult to come by. Hope you can find a copy somewhere.

Charlie Auth
In reference to your review of - Longitude - by Dava Sobel: There is quite a bit you don't know and understand about John Harrison. You should read more about him and your opinion might change. He desserves more credit than you have given him, and so does Dava Sobel's book.

lazeddies@earthlink.net
Thanks for all your useful comments and advice. Lisa

Big sister!
Phone me!

TimRiley@excite.co.uk
I found the site very informative. It's good to see that it's not only me that finds VB Error Handling difficult! One problem I've been having is errors raised in the Business Layer that need to be reported to the User (i.e. in the Interface Layer). I have seen people use techniques where people use return values, but I think this is unelegant and impractical when there is already a return value used. I have been toying with the idea of creating an Error Object which can be used to communicate errors between DLLs and the EXE, possibly by raising events.

pobble@cix.co.uk
Looking at your site seems to be one of the few ways to understand how the Cix guestbook works - the Cix tutorial appears to be a tad incorrect!

cbrtjr@ix.netcom.com
Hey, I like your site! Particularly the typed, newsletter look. Although I would not own the Beat philosophy, I detect a sort-of Beat feel (your picture in the guitar section seems to engender this idea, along with the discussion there.) (I saw your post in the newsgroup thread about Hungarian Notation and decided to take a look at your site.) I, myself do not believe in Hungarian Notation, though I can see it has good things goning for it in particular circumstances (I think here particulary of dll formal parameter defs such as M$'s API calls often use). But each to his own. I will put a jump to this site on the Neat Links page of my own personal web site (http://pw2.netcom.com/~cbrtjr/wrdthing.html)

Charles 

cbrtjr@ix.netcom.com
I already signed once, just now, but forgot to mention one thing: While I have much respect for Edsger Dijkstra, I would disagree with his comment, which you quote, about BASIC ruining programmers. I see his point, but I think it goes too far (but it is good that you quote it...at least as one of those "devil's advocate" type of things.) http://pw2.netcom.com/~cbrtjr/wrdthing.html Charles

mark Lambert - debbieandmark@email.msn.com
Read one of your "Dead Grannies", pretty good stuff. Check ouy my page: www.cyberchute.com/rvbus/madmark M

DeeSoft@Milnes.net
Thanks for the helpful site, Mark, I'll link to it from my computing site at http://www.milnes.net/deesoft As a programmer switching between VB and Access, I get the worse of both worlds mixed up in my head, especially with forms, so your article "Class Idioms for Visual Basic" is a useful reference. Douglas Milnes.

sjackson@jps.net
Mark, I'm transitioning over to the VB world (from a long time COBOL, Assembler, Access background) and occasionally search VB sites for tips, etc. I discovered yours today, and wanted to say 'thanks' for the info it provided. I appreciate it! Steve

Murray Weingarten (weingartens@home.com)
Nice site. I enjoyed your essay Basic Forms of Torture. It does a good job of pointing out how the different syntaxes for creating a form object make it hard to know when the object is created and when it finally disappears for good. Keep writing essays. People are reading.

ashish@hotmail.com
I am new to VB and this site and i am getting interested

pdev@paradise.net.nz
First time I've seen your pages. Enjoyed them. Especially the soapbox on Hungarian notation. Years ago, I inherited a similar convention in Pascal (you can't get more strongly typed than that), and fought hard to get rid of type prefixes. Yours is the most reasoned argument I've heard. Will keep visiting your page. Cheers. paul devadatta, Wellington, New Zealand

BrianDuckworth@HotMail.com
I really like the crisp, clean look of your site. I've enjoyed reading your papers (I've read most of them) and found the "On Error Goto Hell" and the one about naming conventions of particular interest. There's only one thing I'm curious about ... on the MyBooks page, isn't that you wearing a TIE?!

mattdean@iname.com
Great Site. I am trying to find VB (a really low cost version). Right now, I am programming (in Windows) with Liberty BASIC, available from ZDNet. (www.hotfiles.com)

wdcull@worldnet.att.net
Good site! Thanks a lot. -Wendy Cull, Grand Rapids, MI

Good insight into the UNC conventions. My company is asking me to include UNC. I'm going to show your UNC remarks to them for fodder for thought.

saleemza@netscape.net
its a very excellenet job handled by u.

andrew.wall@barclayscapital.com
Confirming those things I have been suspicious about for ages: VB variable prefixing, digital editing and tie-wearing. Super stuff.

Nadine_Stotten@yahoo.co.uk
great website

Paul Morgan
Good "alternative" way of putting across VB to the masses. Nice piccies too!

dchawner@alpha88.com
As a relatively new (6 months) VB programmer, I found most of your essays on the money.

spearsb@ucfv.bc.ca
Hi. Stuff should be dated.

rossman@shelbysys.com
Using VB5 was a good book. I did not get to VB until 5. I was getting paid to write in Clipper. Your book helped me get going. Thanks Ross Mason

zehner@wa.freei.net
Just starting out in Visual Basic, enjoyed your web site...

crik@mindspring.com
Mark you've broadened my horizons! Thanks.

scott.wardrope@anitesystems.com
Mark, Very well written.....Im coming from a c++ background and find VB attempt at polymorphism very confusing. Your article made it a bit clearer...but i still don't fully see how VB supports ploymorphism.

Tim Jones
Mark Thanks your essays really helped me in making the transition from a strong OO language to using VB. The forms are classes point being extremely useful. Thanks

Kelvin Cookshaw (Kelvinator@home.com)
Great soapbox on hungarian notation! My fear is that such a convention will find its way into Java lore. In C++, I never found hungarian notation (or any corruption thereof) to be very useful. This article clarifies some of my uneasiness about using it in VB. Thanks, Kelvin

patm@connix.com
Thank you for the FSM section. It helps to see it in VB. I first learned of FSM's when I wanted to learn to parse. I have on my machine a copy of Libero. With your detailed FSM piece, I think I can start to utilize it. Thanks again. Libero is at freeware available at www.imatix.com

bmorales@starmedia.com
really cool site, it's informative and entertaining. Entertaining ?, Sure. You have a relaxed -No Bull....- aproach to programming, and that stuff about the dress_code man 'o man!, you've really been there. So with nothing more to say. I'll just keep coming back to see what's new. Thank's

parduz@mail.asianet.it
Ok, this seems a great site to learn "Quality programming". It seems also a little complicated to understand what you say. In other words, a little more example codes can be apreciated.

chris@proscan.demon.co.uk
A breath of fresh air in the smog of confusion

gingerbull@cix.co.uk
A very clear and well laid-out site. Informative content too. I will certainly link to it from my site!

indexer@inetcom.net
I enjoyed your comments on "Exploding the Gene Myth". Here's a book recommendation: Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions". After reading Kuhn and gaining insight into the true nature of science, books like Ruth Hubbard's seem tame with respect to slapping people in the face with the cold reality of the true nature of science. That's what she's really talking about, less the actual science of what a pathetic joke "gene therapy" is, than the _psychology_ of science: to wit, what makes otherwise intelligent people fall for the utter crap of genetic determinism.

jpennoyer@maine.com
Awesome web site. Do you participate in any newsgroups? We are embarking on a mts, msmq, vb adventure and would like to see any issues that popping up. We were having trouble using on error in the class initialize event. It would lose the error. Thanks for your help.

asavidge@hotmail.com
Great site ! Thanks for the info on class initialize and error handling!

maxjm11@aol.com
hey i liked your don't try this at home article, beleve it or not i've seen much worse by veteren c++ and vb programmers. i like the sight i think i'll come back once in a while, too read what else you have too say.

lwesthaver@home.com
Reading your 'Class Idioms' was a pleasant suprise. I came to the same conclusions you did and thought I was the only person on earth who explicitly created instances of forms, used properties and methods to interact with them and then destroyed them. It really does make the whole operation much cleaner and clearer to the future maintainer of the code. I have often wished that Microsoft would have disallowed the use of implicitly defined form variables. They're supposed to be a convenience, but they cause more trouble than they are worth in the hands of novice programmers. Wes

ckl@fgi.net
Mark, Great article on Polymorphism. I do agree that Microsoft does not cover nor support polymorphism very well. Considering your "higher" stature in the VB community, have you heard wether or not MS is going to try and rectify this problem in the future? (I am hoping VB 7.0 but not holding my breath) Keep up the wonderful work!! Cali LaFollett

Npitman@interlink.net
I am very impressed by the VB Initialise and Terminate discussions

cpearmain@cix.co.uk
Nice site Mark! Couldn't find the WebCam link, but enjoyed my visit anyway :^)

ron-beauchemin@mediaone.net
I found the one of two items that I read (haven't read the others yet) very enlightening. I there any way to know when new information appears on your web site (other than obviously visiting once per week? Keep up the good work. I also teach a VB course at the local community college. I have save all your articles as HTML. Would there be any problem with sharing this with my students? Once again thanks for taking the time and effort to put this together. It is a true service to the Visual Basic development community. Have you considered offering your articles that appear on your web site for publication in a VB publication such as the Visual Basic Programmer's Journal?

thor@unilab.com.ph
Your site is very informative, and deals with topics mostly neglected by Visual Basic books.

Hi Mark, I am currently working with Michelle in New Zealand and starting learning about HTML, websites etc. I have a graphic design/architecture background ... NOT I.T. Michelle showed me your web site ... ans I really like the "lightness of being" about it ... you don't need all the fancy graphics and black backgrounds which seem to be the current trend. Very refreshing ... and looking at how you code has been a good tutorial in itself. I thank you for the guidance that your skills have offered me !! ciao jeremy

mike.mustard@geharris.co.uk
Found comments about VBs Implements statement very usefull. I have just started a new VB project and thought I would try and do things properly however this is proving problematic. Intereseted in other peoples (Constructive) comments on VBs "Implements" statement.

GRGroff@hotmail.com
Wenrt into your guestbook to find some anti-tie comments, but there was a lot of computer stuff. Anyway, my workplace (school district in NJ) just instituted a dress code for teachers after many years of none. I find it very sexist. Men are told to wear ties (with collar buttons buttoned or else) yet the women have a very free rein with what they may wear. Please keep this no-tie campaign going!!! What can we do? What's our recourse? My students can fail the state test & I still get my raise; but, if I dont wear a tie 5 times in one year, I can be brought up on insubordination charges, lose my tenure, and be fired! Does that make sense? Thanks

dunow1@netscape.net
Hi Mark, I think this Web Page,it will be the perfect rescue for me. I am starting my first semester at tech school. I am in computer programming. My first classes start next week. One of which is Visual Basic. It seems a little complicated right now. So it is nice to know I have somewhere to go with questions. Thanks Again for this Web page. Renee

dunow1@netscape.net

Brad Helm
Nice site Dude! I, too, am a professional code monkey and software design analyst. I tell ya, most of the monkeys coming out of education nowadays are still being taught to use the tools of the old guard to create solutions for our 'new' requirements. One of my biggest peeves is not so much with the techniques specific to a given programming language, but reather with the majority of the new monkeys not having any design creativity or implementation savvy. Those coders who are stuck in the 'this is the way I learned it from my instructors, etc.' just make my hair stand on end. I guess that was my soapbox. For anyone reading this pay close attention to this guys articles - his insights are valid. I do programming and analysis work in custom business models in the range of US$100/hr to US$500+/hr. Learn to do it right and don't let anyone tell you you can't do something. You can make anything happen and VB can help it happen.

mulbum@worldonline.nl
A great series of articles for a pseudo-newbie to VB, did some VBA.... started programming in Delphi alomst 4 years ago and being used to things like inheritence and the lot, it's refreshing to see that in a way things are more interesting then the VB code and books i've seen till now. Could be the wrong choice by me :O) of course, but your work is a good intro to the language improvements MS promises in the next generation of VB. Keep up the incredible good work of teaching the often overlooked basic principles of programming to the VB community. Thanks a lot Brian

jpipes@alnk.com
Mark, I must say that I have learned much in the past thirty minutes perusing your site. Rarely do I see such competence in design and layout as I have seen here. While really getting down to business in your complicated (and extremely thoughtful) articles and code snippets, you have remembered that simplicity and readability are paramount in the design of a site. Cheers! On another point, I am so excited to see competent writing supporting the use of OOP techniques in Visual Basic. Like yourself, I have adopted OOP practices because of the advantages presented by encapsulation and inheritance. It is a shame that so many programmers tend to discount VB because they do not see how it can be object-oriented. At work, I encourage OOP whenever I can, and, sadly, I have found too many programmers sticking to procedural techniques because the concept of learning the object-oriented strategy is daunting at first. I applaud your efforts and encourage further additions to this site! Jay Pipes NaCom/Amerilink IT Group

Love the site - especially the graphics - not too showy, but clear pages with the occasional bug/fish (lets hope the bugs never find their weay into our code :-) ) Thanks muchly for your work on FSM's - Im working on a project that could use 'some sort of' a FSM, except I need the rules to be user configurable/dynamic, oh, and its in 'c' , but in all, you've contributed to my understanding, so thats worth a fair bit on its own (you know, sometimes you read 1/2 dozen things that dont gel, then you read one and suddenly you get it) Regards ..

Mark, I thoroughly enjoyed your On Error Goto Hell article. I'm new to VB,but an accomplished programmer in several languages. The strategies your employ/suggest will benefit me in the future. Your website is also a display of thoughtful and articulate design. I hope to utilize this process on my own website. I look forward to visiting your site again in the future. Ohh, and the pictures of London and surrounding area were excellent! I spent 7 months in England for a project(I'm from the US), and fell in love. Keep the photos coming. Best of luck in the future.
