Class number 2 for my second semester was an inroduction to user interface design.
Again, this was not my favourite class, but I feel like I accomplished more than in Tech Support.
Based on Visual Basic, the teacher often referred to the class as VB, adn I don't remeber a thing from this class. Visual Basic is annoying, I was getting used C++, and I found "if" statements much easier to understand in C++ than in VB, even though VB was intended to be simpler language to program with. C++ required a lot more attention to detail, where as VB would finish statements for you.
Simple loops did not make sense to me. In C++, we were taught understand how variables and arrays are stored in memory, then dealt with loops that would cycle through the array. In VB, the connection between the variables we were creating and the loops we were using to process the data was not made.
The class was not made that interesting, and the teacher would lose his temper often enough that we had a hard time taking seriously when he got mad. There was no text book for the class, yet I managed to find a Visual Basic 2008 text, which helped a lot.
On the upside, my tic-tac-toe game got 100%.
