I've decided to make a language for the computer. I want it to be fairly powerful but easy too. You might be thinking "What about Visual Basic .NET?". Well, yeah, it's called Basic but I think it's still to hard for a beginner. (Visual Basic .NET isn't a full-blown OO language, but it still offers some OO features, namespaces, etc. The syntaz for some stuff might be comfusing) Yes, it's going to be compiled, and there are going to be a few programs associated with it: VDB Reader - A simple program that reads VDB code (not finished but the download lets you get the feel of it). It also takes up not a lot of memory. VDB IDE Standard Edition - Meant for people a little more serious about developing with VDB - it compiles, will let you interact with XML, has a designer view, and more. I've made a general layout for it, but it doesn't really do anything yet. VDB IDE Professional - This is meant for really serious and dedicated developers. I'm still not sure of the extra features it should have. I'm also going to be posting libraries to extend VDB's capabilities every once in a while in the Viewers Design archives. I know you all think it's going to be really bad, but I'm planning on making it relatively powerful and have some OOP features such as classes and constructors, although making them is going to be easier...somehow.  |

Thanks. So far it has one command, "Alert", and I'm still improving the alert command to make the alerts more customizable.

*note to bfr*
WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID HTML EDITOR!
If you think constantly advertising it will make us download it, you're wrong.
In fact, I'm less likely to download it because you act so immature about it and overadvertise.
SO CUT IT OUT.

Um... Okay.
Bfr, I think that Anykey is right, don't advertise so much. Concentrate on improving your programs until you think that they are the best that they can be. Then, you can advertise. (Additionally, the zip is corrupted.)
Anykey, don't flame people. That was my mistake. I'm sure that bfr's program could be a valuable asset to HTML coding.

OK...I won't talk about my HTML Editor...I didn't see any rules though saying that I couldn't talk about it though and you (Vladik, Pure, Anykey) were asking for a standalone version, so I just thought yuo'd be interested.......

There's no rules against it. We advised you to make it a standalone because otherwise it would be unusable. The lesson here is that people won't switch to programs from an untrusted source when they already use applications that work much better and can be trusted. Your program just trys to fill a niche that's already taken. I know this for a fact, because I myself wrote an html editor that sucked. Nobody downloaded it, and I realized that there was no reason for them to. The thing with programming is you have to try to do something origional, otherwise there's no point in it. Not to be harsh or anything, that's just how life is.  |

I wrote it mostly for fun, and I thought you all might be interested in it.
It also is original, because:
A: It has buttons right in front of you that you can click, and they give you HTML code. Frontpage doesn't have that.
B: It offers some smaple javascript scripts, especially popular ones such as a rollover and browser-detection.
C: It has an Auto-CSS feature that formates CSS code properly.
Future versions will have even more stuff.
I didn't make the program because I thought that people needed an HTML editor, I made it for fun, and added some original features to it, and posted a link to download it here so that people could try it out and see what VDesign is capable of.

Yes, but it still needs more features. Also, you made several missplellings...

If you made it for fun, why did you market it so aggressively? You took things too far, with the avatar, the sig, ect. |

For fun, just to have a theme! If you don't want me to tell anybody about my projects, then fine.
Also, I don't have anything in my signature telling about my project.
Anyway, why should you be mad about what I have in my avatar?

I think that you should work until your project is very good, and then release it. Then, work on it for another two months or so and tell people about it again.
