Dear Class:

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

We worked on the first lesson of the tutorial at the website and the second lesson. I wanted the "simple calculator" and the "color changer RGB" done. We ended up, last class, doing the BMI calculator at the end of Lesson 7.

I want to, as a class, look generally at how to manipulate each of the "objects" put into a program about "Feelings". You will name each picture as "PicHappy", "PicOK", and "PicSad" and for the text, "TextHappy", "TextOK", and "TextSad".

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)

We finished Lesson 7 in which you did the "BMI" calculator. I recorded those last time. I do want to do the "grade" calculator in Lesson 10.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
