Programming

As a confirmed geek, I believe that you should use the computer to solve as many of your day-to-day tasks as possible. If a task is done on a regular basis, there is generally little reason to do it by hand.

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 C# (C Sharp), C++, and Delphi for programming. C# is my current language of choice and most everything you find on my web site will be in C# or C++. If you haven't heard of object orientated programming (OOP), .NET, and classes then hold your nose, you're going into the deep end. While I don't plan on teaching programming, if you have a basic knowledge of BASIC, Visual Basic, or VBA you should be able to catch on pretty quickly.

Most of what you see here, has been created with Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2005 but Microsoft is currently offering a personal version you can download for free. The current link to the Microsoft page is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/

Go to the link above and download the C# express version. Microsoft and I have no connection and this recommendation is simply a suggestion. Feel free to use any programming tools you desire. Plus read my legal disclaimer before relying on anything you find here.
