Im learning QBasic because its said to be way easyer then C++ and Java which I know somewhat about C++. Java im taking next year in Computer Science. I have some questions about QBasic...
1.) Can you do more then Console programming? Win32 API programming at all, so not everything is console?
2.) Can you make programs for the use of the internet? Winsock or Tocsock?
3.) How long will it take me to fully understand Qbasic with online tutorials?
>1.) Can you do more then Console programming? Win32 API programming at all, so not everything is console?
Console programming? QB programming is usually from an IDE. Um... check out some QB games....
>2.) Can you make programs for the use of the internet? Winsock or Tocsock?
Yes. "DSOCK".
3.) How long will it take me to fully understand Qbasic with online tutorials?
With QB? Never. Why? Because you can use DOS interrupts, peek and poke, ASM, and C functions with it. PureQB? To understand and use 95% of QB functions be using will take you 1 year if you are "in tune with the universe", and if you haven't programmed before. Otherwise, it'll take you one month. It took me 1 week to learn everything I needed to make a program in LISP. Non-awkward program? 2 months... LISP is more difficult than QB.
Where are the QB DSOCK tutorials?
Thanks! So can you make TCP/IP Progs with DSOCK?
By the way, you asked about Qbasic, and I failed to say that Dsock is a QuickBasic library and requires QB 4.5 or PDS -- won't work with Qbasic.

You can't write Windows programs in qbasic. When Qbasic was made, Windows didn't really exist. Qbasic runs on an older operating system called MS-DOS that came before Windows.
But you can do graphics within the command prompt in fullscreen mode, just not Windows graphics on your Windows desktop.
what is:
Console programming
Win32 API
Winsock/Tocsock/DSOCK
yeah i dont know much, but i want to, just dont have the time

Console Programming is Dos (Blank black screen)
Win32 API is programmin in C++ where you get a windows application look (Application Programming Interface)
Winsock - C++ library for the internet
Tocsock - Aol instant messengers libary (Good for hacking)
Dsock - qb's so called library lol
