Access Programming

Unknown

I am doing a Senior project on computer programming,

and need to interview someone about programming.

The questions are nothing out of the ordinary, so if

anyone wouldn't mind, I would appreciate it if you

would answer them. Please, e-mail me back with the

answers. Thanks alot.

Questions:

1) What do you think is the easiest program to

use when first starting to learn about

programming? Why?

2) How long have you been programming? What

is your background in this field?

3) What do you feel is the hardest thing

about programming?

4) Do you program for a living, or just in

your spare time?

5) What is the best thing about creating a

program of your own?

Dear Nick,

I would be grateful in knowing the results to some of your questionnaires, in particluar question number 1. I ask this because i am new to programming and am looking to embark on a language but am not too sure which one.

Looking forward to a response.

Daniel

:Hi Nick

:

:I'm probably to late to help you in your project :but some comments might help or interest others

: Questions:

: 1) What do you think is the easiest program to

: use when first starting to learn about

: programming? Why?

:

: Comment: Some will say "basic"...and others

: will say "assembler"... I'll say it depends

: on your degree of logic. If you have a strong

: logical way of thinking, get on "assembler"!

: If you have an 'artist' mind, try something

: like "basic" it is easier to get initiated and

: it will help you to exercise your logical

: perception. Anyway, just think the way you

: analyse things around you every day!!.... You'll

: get the answer.

: 2) How long have you been programming? What

: is your background in this field?

:

: Comment: University of Quebec (UQTR) '86-'90

: in this field, and working since '89

: 3) What do you feel is the hardest thing

: about programming?

:

: Comment:Like i said above, the hardest thing

: about programming is to exercise your logical

: perception (eaven in your own life)

:

: 4) Do you program for a living, or just in

: your spare time?

:

: Comment: I'm a programming analyst, I develop,

: I suppervise people and I'm a system manager for

: a part of the job.

:

: 5) What is the best thing about creating a

: program of your own?

:

: Comment: Independence, getting exactly wath you

: need (your own tools), getting experience

: perhaps for a job! Not necessary to be a

: programming language (Cobol,Basic,C++,Visual

: basic,assembler,Focus,3GL,...) but an

: application as Acces,SQLforms,Foxbase,...)

: By the way, sorry for my english. I'm a french

: canadian from Quebec.
