I wouldn't say IDE's are bad, they make programmin easier and more enjoyable though, makes you a lazy programmer

Thanks a lot. I'm yet to try it out. Would let you know au it all turns out

Thanks a lot. May God in his infinite mercies grant us all dat is good for us. I'll have to digest it.

Pardon me bt seems I'm just gettin more confused. I'll list some points & just tell me those that r misconceptions of destiny-
1. I was destined to be a muslim.
2. I was destined to start this forum.
3. I am destined to be in school.
4. I've been destined to be either rich or poor.
5. I've been destined to call some1 later today.
6. I've been destined to like a particular person.
7. I've been destined to pray at a particular time.
8. I've been destined to attend a night of majesty that would change my destiny.
Pls which of the above is misconception and particularly quizzed about 8. Thank and may God grant us knowledge.

If i'm right, does this mean we r just playing our roles in this world? We have all been determined to carry out some actions, we r just like puppets. Meanin we have the illusion that we r free willed while in fact we r determined? This is were I get confused

Think I now get it bt correct me if I'm wrong. We have been destined to do some things and get some results e.g i've been destined to sleep at a particular time today and also be at a particular place tomorrow

This is one of d topics that has left me confused d most. What destiny actually is?
Is it destiny that I would live my house at a time or is it destiny that study? In order words, is destiny every step we take, when we sleep, eat, drink or is destiny just major occurrences in our lives, we give birth, become rich? Some1 should be pls explain

Thanks for answering d first. For the 2nd may be i should explain more.
I have a datagrid called customers dat holds a table from database. What I intend to do is that once a cell is double clicked, the value in that cell should be stored into a variable named selectedValue. Hope this helps

I'll say u can take up any language u feel u could grasp easily though IDEs (netbeans, visual studio etc) have made programmin easier. Also it'l be advisable to learn a language that'l be widely applicable.
As for groups, I think Nigeria Computer Society and Computer Professionals of Nigeria are the major 1s. Best of luck being a programmer.

To know whether God created any religion, u av to get to the origins of these religions. I know mainly about 2 so i'd compare them.
Christianity was started by Jesus. He preached d belief in God and obedience of his commandments as given by Moses and used miracles to show he is from God. 1 thing though, he never called d religion a name, d name was given after he was gone.
The second is Islam, started by Mohammed. He said it was from God also. He preached the believe in God and also obedience of d commandments. A diff though was that he gave d religion a name & structure. It also dictates au d followers r to serve God unlike those brought by "prophets" before him.
Based on dis, i'd like to think islam was instigated by God. Just my opinion though & pls correct me if i've got any fact missed up

I have two slight problems:
1. How can i pass a variable btwn forms. In a login form i have username declared & want to pass the value to another variable username in main menu form.
2. Store the value of a cell in a datagrid into a variable name by doubleclicking on the cell.
I'll aspecicte a response asap. Thanks & more to come.

Thank God for this thread. I'm about developing a windows based database application & quite sure i'll get stuck at some point. Hope i'll get answers here

@nitation,
thanks a lot. d output would be dynamic & its function is to record sales & supplies, keep track of stock & produce reports. I'm thinkin of database windows application with d back end being sql server & front end designed usin VB.NET.

Wonder how many primary school students can actually use word in 9ja? Bt on a brighter note its not all that gloom. We have a 12 year old java master

Nice advice you guys. I would say i'm a beginner and would like to know how much attention a programmer should say to memory management & also if necessary how memory could be efficiently managed. Also does long line of codes mean more use of memory?
