Hi
Asking a stupid question, but intelligent for a novice like me. I understand that X BAsic is the brains of alpha five, it is a language (better) like visual basic for access.
Now is it a languaage that preexixted before alpha five and so I can learn it from books on X Basic itself?
2. Or is ita a language designed by alpha five team and the only way to learn is through alpha five .pdf books?
The reson i am asking this question is that I find understanding these books and Dr Peter Wayne's is a little tough for a doctor like me with no programming background. I have understood explicit and implicit variables, and dim and redim etc, but how to build expressions and syntax of functions and how to formulate commands in the XBAsic code editor goes above my head. Reading these books is like asking you people to comprehend "The New England Journal of Internal Medicine" with all tech mumbo-jumbo.
Mr Robert T and Martin Cole are u listening?
Cab u help me as how to go about "reading" and "writing" this language or is it a matter of more patience and time?
pardon me if I sound stupid but I am sure there will be many novices out there who will share this view.
AFTER ALL THE BEAUTY OF ALPHA FIVE LIES IN THE FACT THAT IT IS MEANT FOR NONPPROGRANMMERS EQUALLY AS PROGRAMMERS.
I can now develop applications with some skill using the various genies only and I am around 1/2 a month old.
Sincerely
Dr Alok Modi MD
