LESSONS from LESSON-a reflection on the nerve cracking, mind draining,
patience testing VISUAL BASIC-
In a computer driven world that we have today, where fragment of seconds are marked with bytes or even gigabytes, where the progression of time peacefully co-exist with the advancement in technology, computer programming have boom producing computer programs meant to give humans a convenient and likely atmosphere and to make the human life easier and faster.
Since the start of the school year, we have slowly crossed our way going to the Visual Basic, a computer program developed by the Microsoft Visual Studio that enables user, with enough knowledge and capability on the program to create his/her own program through the discussions and lectures in the Technology and Livelihood Education - Computer Programming. We have started with the flow charting, a lesson, that i first thought was difficult to comprehend and understand. But upon knowing and learning the lesson, i can say that really, judging the 'book' (or should i say the lesson) by just its cover or its' physical appearance is a BIG NO NO!
Moving on, it was probably in the second grading period when we have started paving our way through the heart of our main topic for the whole duration of the school year, the VISUAL BASIC 6. At first, (just like my first impression in the Flow Charting lessons) this lesson will be a hard one. It also came to the point that i asked myself why would i make a slot machine and study the codes when in fact i am not planning to take any computer related course??
Well, to tell you honestly, i may not memorize all the codes needed to make a beautifully executed slot machine or to make a program run and appear as beautiful as others may have made at least i can proudly say that i have learned something from a thing i thought i would never be interested in. Just for instance, the carefulness in copying and typing codes for me not to have a bug in the program and the eagerness and patience to re-check or proofread the codes just to avoid bug in the program. Going deeper, we can associate visual basic to life. For visual basic is all about choice and so as life. In visual basic, we always have a choice on what we want to do in the program next, in life we always have a choice on what are we going to do next. Comparable to our present stage, we have our choice on which path to choose in college, we have a choice on the university we are going to study and the like. In VB, we can always choose what color do we want, we can have RGB or we can even mix them. In life, we can always have the controls in making our life as colorful as possible. We can have more red, less green and more blue or we can also have magenta or cyan. It depends on what we like and what we choose.
To sum it up, Visual Basic isn't just a program to crack our nerve, drain our mind and put our patience in the edge. VB does not only teach us codes to execute a program like no other but it also teaches and gives us realizations that we can use in our life. VB also teaches us the lesson of patience, eagerness, carefulness and most of all, CHOICE. Life, just like VB, depends on how we develop, construct, choose and decide not for others but for ourselves.
So i guess that's the end of it. =]
