Subject: Midterm Exam two weeks from today...


Hi Visual Basic students,

     The midterm test will be on the last Friday in June, which I believe
would be June 30th, exactly 14 days from today (June 16th).

     The web site for the class is:

          http://www.cns.uni.edu/~jacobson/c030NET.html

     but it is easily reached by going first to:

          http://www.cns.uni.edu/~jacobson/

     It would be good to READ and DO some of Hour 10:

        Hour 10: Creating and Calling Code Procedures

            We talked about Function procedures today in class.

            We'll talk about Subroutine procedures on Monday.

        Hour 11, pages 247 through 260 would be good to study too.

          Understanding Data Types            Page 248
          Defining and Using Constants        Page 252
          Declaring and Referencing Variables Page 255

       We will talk about Arrays sometime on Monday or Tuesday too.

          Working with Arrays                 Page 261

          Scope of variables is very, very important,
          and if you understand that, you can understand why I
          declared on of the variables in today's Neko example
          with the word STATIC instead of the word DIM.

          So read over and preview:

          Determining Scope                    Page 264
          Declaring Variables of Static Scope  Page 268

       That covers most of the subtopics of Hour 11 in the book,
       if you read it too.

          Hour 11:  Using Constants, Data Types, Variables and Arrays

        Read over the sections of Hour 8 that we have covered in class:

             Creating Timers:                           page 183
             Storing Pictures in an Image List Control  page 186

     You should start playing around with the Neko program and trying
out some of things you have seen, even if it is just using exactly the
sample code and setups I have given you.  You will learn alot by getting
them to work, or doing something similar and simpler.

     See you on Monday.

     Mark
