How to improve your coding skills in Vb.Net

Today I read a great sticky thread at Tech Life Forums about how to improve your coding in Visual Basic.   This guide actually points out some good key factors in vb.net coding.  Some of the things it explains I actually did not do alot.  Well I didnt really name my controls for starters.  When I was attending college my VB teacher would doc us for points if we did not give our controls a signifcant name.  You would not be surprised with the talk after class lol.  I guess all in all as a programmer everything should have a significant name variables, controls, functions and the list goes on.

You ever get a project from a buddy and he wants your help?  So you download his project and take a look inside to find you dont know what is going in there.  There is no code comments and your best bet is to guess what's going on.  I still do this sometimes which is not a good programming practice, but I am working on it.  Commenting your code is crucial in programming, sometimes you may forget something and when you got upto thousands of lines of code with no comments you dont where to go.  This also looks good when releasing a big project source, if your using your comments it will look more professional.

This guide has helped me out and gave me some reminders to brush up on my project coding in Visual Basic.  The guide also goes on to exaplain more about how to use datatypes correctly, proper nesting structures and much more.  Come check out it at Tech Life Forums and discuss everything tech.

Tech Life Forums

First let me tell you a little about myself, heres the low down. I am 28 years old and a beast at all the things digital...jk. I like to code in VB.Net and have been for like 4 years now, maybe longer I lost count. I can code a little c++ to get by on little projects. I have developed 4 websites and 2 of them I own and the others have sold. I am currently learning Javascript from W3schools and it is fun I think I will move onto PHP next when finished. I am also training in malware removal as well.

Recently I have been on a journey to learn more about computers and programming.  I searched and found some interesting sites and forums but none compared to this one.  The staff are very helpful and the members very welcoming.  They have the latest topics on programming and computer support.

In the Windows Operating System forum they have a great support for the dreadful "blue screen of death" crash error.  If you  so happen to get this I recommend coming here and registering for free and posting your problem to get a quick solution.  There is also other discussion forums with different OS's, Apple/Mac and Linux/Free BSD which cover a wide variety of topics of interest.

The programming forum is full of talented programmers that will help you find a solution to your coding projects problems.  I have posted many projects in the .Net programming forum and got lots of great feedback on how to improve the structure and efficiency of my programs.  I have also received great comments and friendly suggestions. 

So far I have been a member for 2 days and I have made new friends and discovered new things about programming and Crash Dump Analysis.  This is definetly what I needed for technical support.  I cant stop posting as the community is just great and open about all discussion's.  So if you need some tech support or just need to dicuss some ideas visit Tech Life Forums and get registered for free and get the computer and programming support you need for FREE!!
