Weekly Summary of Task / Assignment

Learning to use FrontPage 98 is an easy task compared to Netscape Gold or Composer but each web-creator program has it's good and bad.

This week, Indra and I had completed the Multimedia tutorial lessons on how to use Visual Basic 5.0. Personally, I feel that this programming software makes programmers create programs quick and easy in a windows-based environment. VB can be seen as the common used application by most programming students who are studying in Information Technology. With sufficent programming knowledge, I think one could create a fantasic program out from VB, which might even be patented and used as a commerical program in the future.

Getting the chance to learn Visual Basic is an honour given to me as this will definitely enhance my working skills as well as my knowledge. This will certainly be a challenge to me physically and mentally.

Well who knows. Maybe by the end of the attachment, I might even be requested to advice my lecturers on how to use Visual Basic upon returning back to school next year? To achieve this, I will have to put in all my efforts to master this programming skills which at this point of time is only half fulfilled. Therefore, I have decided to make time to learn as much as I can now with determination to improve.
