Dear Class:

This is an add on to the previous part we were doing.

We finished Lesson 7 in which you did the "BMI" calculator. 

Please do the "Lottery" VB program today

Do the radial button and the "grades" that are in Lesson 10...

As an exit "test" for Visual Basic, you are being asked to create a program on your own that you create from scratch. It has to have at least 2 buttons, four text boxes and 4 labels. It must serve a function, such as figuring out sales tax for purchases. Today, I hope to look at transitioning to GameMaker 8.0. GameMaker 8.0 is already loaded, although you may have to go to the C drive to load it. The first tutorial consists of:

Tutorial

Resource 1
Resource 2
Resource 3
Resource 4
Resource 5

We will see how we do!

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

There is a good source of tutorials at http://www.vbtutor.net/ that I want to look at.

I want to go over Lesson 6 as described below. We will work on the 7th lesson of the tutorial at the website

Lesson 1 had us just do a simple button. In lesson 2, we started to do a simple calculator. I was going to check off most of yours but was not able to do all of them. The next lessons are old friends. Lesson 3 talks about properties, including color schemes and naming of the window. Lesson 4 talks about object oriented program "OOP" and Lesson 5 speaks of writing the code. Lesson 6 refreshes our minds about managing data (integers, etc. that we have seen before) and then Lesson 7 is about Mathematical Operations in which you will all do the "BMI" calculator (your fat). I hope to get this far today...

Dear Class:


There is a good source of tutorials at http://www.vbtutor.net/ that I want to look at.

We will, hopefully, work on the first lesson of the tutorial at the website

Lesson 1 has us just do a simple button. We did this last class and from what I could see the vast majority of you did not have a problem with it.

In lesson 2, we will do a simple calculator. The next lessons are old friends. Lesson 3 talks about properties, including color schemes and naming of the window. Lesson 4 talks about object oriented program "OOP" and Lesson 5 speaks of writing the code. Lesson 6 refreshes our minds about managing data (integers, etc. that we have seen before) and then Lesson 7 is about Mathematical Operations in which you will all do the "BMI" calculator. We will go back an revise the calculator really quick, finish the "RGB" program you ended the last class with...

Dear Class:

We are finished with Chapter Four. I will have a test on it the beginning of class on Friday, just to give you notice... We will do the "Grades" together and you will do the 'Sales Tax' and 'Wages' sample programs on your own (any two of them). It will be two programs that are similar to those two. The majority of you only did one of them. I also did not get "Grades" from a lot of you. I will give you the first half hour to finish these off and to check your grades to see what you did not do

Dear Class:

We worked on and finished the "Menu".  Make sure you run it, take a "PrtScn" (print screen) of it with the program on one side and the compiled part on the other.  We also did the "Grades" and you should have ran it, took a snapshot of it and then put it into a document.
I want to talk about messages, strings, and concatenation of strings.

We will do an assignment on "Concatenation of strings" together in chapter 4 (b) section.  This is the second to last program that contains your name, school name, and string "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".

I want to get into chapter 4. I want to look at it together.

Chapter 4
Chapter 4 (b)

We will do the "Grades" together and you will choose either Sales Tax or Wages and do two programs based on the one you choose. The 'Sales Tax' and 'Wages' sample programs on your own. It will be two programs that are similar to those two.

We will finish "Airline Flight Cost Analysis together. See if it works...

Today I want to see if we can get the chapter done but maybe not.

I want to watch a couple of tutorials on this site:
http://www.softwaretrainingtutorials.com/c-plus-plus.php

http://www.fafiles.com/index.php?course=cppPage

This site is a tutorial on 3d programming using C++ and OpenGL.
http://www.videotutorialsrock.com/index.php


We are almost done with C++ at the conclusion of Chapter 4 (a little of Chapter 5 we will look at) and we will move into Visual Studio/Basic from here.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Completing Chapter 3, I want to talk about messages, strings, and concatenation of strings.

I want to get into chapter 4. I want to look at it together.

Chapter 4
Chapter 4 (b)
I need in your folders: Menu (print screen of it) and Area of Box (print screen of it).

We did not really get to the menu: I want you to do the Menu that is linked. The links are Page 1 and Page 2

We are into chapter 4. I want to look at it together.

Dear Class:

I talked about pages 54 and 55 regarding mixed data types and how it affects calculations. There is a reference to "promotion" and "typecasting". Read these two pages on your own. Please run and print and hand in. At times there will be a "truncated" issue with floating-point number. Read on your own page 56 and 57. Page 57 has the same code list, more or less, as page 55. Just look at that code and see what was changed and what it would do.  We will continue from there. I want you to "copy" the review questions on page 62-63, 1-10 and 1-10, answer them, save on google docs, and put in your shared folder. Do project 3-1 and Project 3-4 and run them. I will check them on screen and then grade them.

Chapter 3

I want you to do the Menu that is linked. The links are Page 1 and Page 2


Continuing with Chapter 3, I want to talk about Overflow and Underflow.

Run it but do not print out the menu. We will look at it next time to run and print it together.

I would like you, on your own, to do the project 3-4 on page 64. We already did the Activity 3-1 on page 66. Don't forget about the menu I need to check off!

I want to get into chapter 4. I want to look at it together. Sorry for the delay.

Chapter 4 (b)

Hope this helps.

Dear Class:

We will start and continue with Chapter 3. These are more of a review of math with a few new twists to the standard operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. There will be the modulus which will include the leftover. We will just continue in Chapter 3 from there.  Page 44  we will look at the code list 3-2 but we will not do it. We will look closely, however, at page 45, because of the "statements" and "results". I want to talk about Overflow and Underflow.

Together, do code list 3-3 on page 46.  Together, do code list 3-4 on page 47. Page 48...do 3-5 and screen shot. Do 3-8 and look at 3-10. We will continue from there.
