Need Help Please?

[Chris25]

Hello eveyrone! I am in need of someone that could help me write a couple of programs. Actually its 5 small programs, (example. A calculator, alarm clock etc) I am in the middle of learning the lauguage of Visual Basic while working full time and just do not have the time to do all of it. There very short programs as well. Basically i have most of the visual interfaces done, but need help with the code. If anyone can help me please let me know? Thanks so much. Also i will gladly pay for these programs being done! Thanks

No need of speaking of money here: this is a free-help forum.
Start speaking about first program. What exactly do you need?
Here we all cannot promise you a full program in short time, but you will get lot of (short) hints...

Having someelse write the programs for you will not help you when you get a real job and have to do it for yourself. Your boss won't write the programs for you.

...no, but you could hire consultant to do the work for you. ;-)

Would not the consultant cost more than the salary of a newbie programmer?

Save some $$$ and keep the skill inhouse. I suggest you buy a tutorial book and work through it, while focusing on your target applications (that's what I had to do). That's about the only way to do it. My assumption is that you put in about 40 hrs/week (+/-) on the job, that leaves 128 (a nice binary exponent!) hours for learning VB. This BBS is a great way of getting over some of the hurdles that aren't covered in the book.

Otherwise, there are a ton of freelance developers out in the woods just waiting for a chance to earn some $$$ after hours.

But Cimperiali is right: what are your specific application needs?

Don't be overwhelmed by the need to do five applications at once; you only need to do one at a time. Keep a simple thought in mind: How do you eat an elephant?

One bite at at time.
