Okay, I am sorry about that. I have no formal computer training, so i dont know what they teach. I only follow trends from internet.

Imagine you need to write a simple GUI app on windows xp - some big corporations still use it mind you. With RAM of say 256MB (still in use by some big firms in Nigeria), i have troll around small so i know. In that kind of situation, you dont want to burden the gaddamn system, so you just write something of low dependency that will sit comfortably on the poor system. Well, vb 6 is still one of the options, you may want to go c or c++ as well, depending on which one you think will be faster.

See, every programmer with their own techniques. When i get a job to do, I come up with the algorithm, and out of my own limited experience, i select the fastest way out and solve the problem.
One of the recent apps i deployed make use of the following technologies:
- VB.NET
- PHP for windows (because i needed to make use of some PHP libraries offline and some google web apis)
- Local SQLite database
- Remote SQL Database Server
- Windows scripting host
- VBScript for Windows, Batch files
- Microsoft Excel (Embeded)
You can see it is an odd combination, but you now what, it solved the gaddamn problem. I got my money, and checked out.

See, the only algorithm i know is this:

CLIENT CARRY PROBLEM COME -------- I SOLVE THE PROBLEM ANYHOW -------- COLLECT MONEY ------- WAKA DEY GO

--- THE END

hmmm... the combo can be better sha.. #justSaying...
But resultant effect of solving the problem using the wrong tools is greater than the gain..

what if after a month an upgrade is requested and it'd break your "juxtaposed" tools ??

Wrong tools means you are not grounded as a programmer, means that you did not do your ground-work well. Or maybe you use a tool that is too complicated for your brain. Or that you are a learner and not a programmer.

As part of your proposal, you must have a pilot test period before you waka go. Support and upgrade is not compulsory and is dependent upon agreement.

Re: How To Add Icon To Visual Basic 6.0 Form by Nobody: 11:25am On Aug 27, 2015

After they don certify that the app is working, and it has passed the pilot and all that, and you don waka go with MONEY. The only way to get you back to do anything is WITH MONEY.

Re: How To Add Icon To Visual Basic 6.0 Form by Nobody: 11:27am On Aug 27, 2015

There was a website with CMS i made for a client so many many years back at the time of PHP 4.whatever. The client now came to complain after so many years that the site is no more working, i pretended to be surprised, said i will look into it.
And my report was that - things have changed, technology and all that. And the only way to get the app working again is to upgrade it with a certain amount of money. . . .it is not my responsibility anymore at this juncture!
