Dear Class:

We will finish with the Airplane.

Look at p. 84 to end.

I want to watch the below tutorials together to reinforce what we went over. Last class we watched the first four tutorials that were review. The site can be reached here. The following last four we did not get to and are also review:

Using Getline Function and the strcpy Function
Writing Equations and Type Casting
Demo of the Complete Program
Debugging Demo

We will continue with the final part of Unit 4.

There are couple of short projects I will have you do. Then, we will do the "Airplane" that is written for you. 1 2 3 https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B52XXyfOPY81ZWRhOGNiODYtZmMzMi00NWUwLWI5NmEtMmUzMGE1NTM4NjYw&hl=en&authkey=CLWhnKUC 5


Sincerely,

Finish the two story problems above at the "comma" in "Sincerely". We will work on those.

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

Lesson 1 had us just do a simple button. 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. I hope to get this far today...
