Title: nice to meet you all.
Post by: TechRoo on May 11, 2010, 10:31:44 PM

Hiya,

Normally i never bother with these introduction topics, but i guess ill do the considerate thing and introduce myself.

Where to start..... well i am 20 Year old, work irl as a software development engineer for a robotics integrator(100% geek).
 I am a real apple enthusiast, so i swapped windows for osX a long time ago _{(exept for gaming, wish they would make more OS X games)}.
As for my nationality, i am Dutch so expect gramatical mistakes every now and then.
My hobby's are cycling/running, programming _{(microcontrollers/VB)}, horseback riding and trying to get my damn(win2008) server to run properly  >:(,

so basicly your typical geek with a somewhat sportier side........... _{(is sportier actually a word?)}

I only do long distance cycling, but i am planning on getting a mountain bike this summer. I live only 5 Km from the beach/dune(s), wich is a perfect place for mountain biking.
Talking about "bed", its already past 1 over here and i need to get up at 6, so goodnight ya'll.

Yo! You need to teach me how to do that stuff! I used to try and program stuff, but I got nowhere with it...

Welcome and hope you have a good time! (BE ACTIVE!)

I know how you feel ,its always hard trying to learn new programming languages and working with a new IDE.
I am currently still busy re-learning visual basic/Visual studio 2010 for a order/part management program that i am designing for my employer.
Normally i program B&R PLC,s and Fanuc Robots. We also implement sick and cognex industrial vision camera,s, but that doesn,t use a real programming language.

But anyway, i might be able to lend a hand... After all two heads are better then one. ^_^

Welcome to the FF, good to see another programmer here. Well, I barely count as one as I've been on and off with different languages over the last year or two and never really made much progress >.<
Interesting job and hobbies, I must say. And IDE? What's wrong with a good old text editor and the command line? :P (I'm aware of why an IDE is beneficial and can really help with larger projects but I almost always use a text editor myself XD)

O.O
I thought Visual Basic was a dead language!

I agree, text editor works just as good(Actually use a plain editor at work to create Fanuc programs).
Only reason why i would use a dedicated IDE because it gives extra functions that are handy/necessary for a project (Visual Studio/MPlab etc).
And i like the coloring that most programs use to define variables, constants, operators, structures/subs etc, makes it easyer to read. ^_^

Still very much alive, last update (Visual Basic 10 / .NET 4) was released last month i think.  ;)

I see what you're saying but usually about the only thing I miss from an IDE is the text colouring. And seeing as 2 out of the 4 text editors I use all support text colouring and are capable of recognising the most commonly used language and syntax...*shrugs*
IDE's are too messy for my work, which is usually only small projects and scripts. For compiling several .c files or keeping track of things an IDE is ideal but certainly in my situation a good text editor and a shell to work from (one of my editors allows you to embed a shell in the editor to test your code) is exactly enough.
