 MFC/Win32API meets Smokey and the Bandit March 22, 2001

Gone are the old days when a guy like me could write 10 print "hello" and 20 goto 10 and expect to have something magical happen. Nowadays, it's all about GUI interfaces and "OLE applets". It takes nearly twelve million lines of code just to print out the words "Bill Gates eats turnips" on my computer, and that's without any icons or mouse pointers. I think someone should do something.

I have used many different compilers in the past, with little success, but with this bundle you have power at your fingertips. I really don't know what the reviewer above me was smoking, but with the MSDN library, and all the wonderful tools and utilities, this is a sure bet for any programmer.

This is really an excellent software bundle.I've been developing on VB6 and VC++ 6 for around 9 months now and Visual Studio 6 is by far the best tool for the job i.e. one of the many features you get with VC++ v6. You can actually create a working GUI application with an MDI setup already programmed, linked to a datasource of your choice and forms created by wizards, all in a matter of around 30 seconds without any coding at all. If this isn't fast, what is? ActiveX controls, DLL libraries and using Microsoft's ADO data control system is very easy to use. I thought Visual C++ 5 was good, but I do enjoy seeing a list of possible functions and attributes that you are associated with objects when you type the name of the object in your class related source files. The package is much better integrated for web development. Overall, excellent package

As a programmer guy involved with software and programming, all I can say is this product is thorougly unsatisfying. thoroughly. Rapid development they say. I say "ha"! It took me over three weeks just to write a program and make it work. three Weeks dude! I don't know about you, but time is money. Know what I mean? Visual is fine, but isn't audio kind of implied? I mean, when I tried talking to the program, telling it to go and make this program and go and make this it just stood there silent. It didn't say, "sorry ravi I can't make that program today." It didn't say anything. Where I come from in India that is just plain rude. Say something for sakes. But I guess the packaging was very nice, with the sideways eight and all. (that's where the extra star came from in the rating) Yo Microsoft, when writing your programs make sure to allow for the case when people are talking to them. Visual Studios rudeness has almost turned me off of Microsoft altogether. Don't mean to be hard on you, but programming is tough work and it's nice to get a little help every now and then, especially with programming. And software programming, and internet bits as well as TCP/IP stuff.
