[Year 12 SofDev] SD U3O2 - Van Gogo

[Adrian Janson]

Hi Mark,

As always - looks great!

BTW: It doesn't really matter what version of VB.Net (or even VB6) you use -
it is really all just about structures and concepts.  Let's face it,
whatever they choose to use will be in a different version or incarnation by
the time they reach industry....

I find that I still sell copies of my VB6 book to schools...

Cheers,
Adrian

Hi all

After much dillydallying I finally decided on an outcome for U3O2, which 
is attached.

The problem was coming up with a module that kids couldn't Google and 
download within 2 minutes.

Inspired by the study design's advice for teachers, here is Van Gogo: 
Painter Extraordinaire.  The pix are linked to the Word doc.

It's not _too_ demanding on the kids who still can't get an IF..ENDIF 
working without a mental hernia, but the gun programmers should still be 
able to strut their stuff.

Criticism will be welcome.

On a sidenote, I've been having endless troubles running VB 2005 Express 
on the network.  It insists on using c:\documents and settings which is 
a key problem because our hard disks are protected by HD Guard.

In the end I let the kids choose VB2005 or VB6 (with which I am more 
comfortable anyway, I must admit. Old Fogey alert...)

Cheers

MArk
