Looking for a PureBasic Tutor/Mentor...

[Michaeldavid]

Hi! I'm an old Visual Basic programmer (MANY years ago) looking to get back into something close to it. I believe PureBasic is my best option and I'm hoping someone with some experience might be willing to help me dust off the cobwebs. I have a small GUI app I'd like to create for Windows which I'd like to develop myself but I know I'll need some experienced guidance. I'd be happy to pay [reasonable] consulting fees.

Is this a possibility? Is this the appropriate place to ask? Would anyone be interested?

Thanks!

I believe PureBasic is my best option

you're definetly correct : PureBasic is a great choice + best option from VB6.0 and ( especially compared to VBNET )

there's a whole bunch of Experts here that can help you , with anything you want to do !

PM me anytime and ask for help or guidance. No cost, glad to be of help.

The best of PureBasic is not (only) the product.
It is the community of the forums.
You always get help and tips.

Simply ask.

No need to pay. As others said, post your questions here and we'll try to help. If you're able to post some non-working code, it means we can copy it to the IDE to work on for you. (We don't mind coding from scratch, but some skeleton code to copy first makes it a whole lot easier).

Don't forget to the use the "Search" function in these forums - almost every question has been asked and answered before, especially from ex-VB users. Congrats on choosing PureBasic, too! I also came from VB and PB the natural successor to it.

Hey, you folks are fantastic! This makes me sorry I didn't attempt to "resume my coding efforts" years ago... But the truth is it has been over a decade since my last application coding effort (VB5) and I'm a bit overwhelmed. I have a pretty good idea of what I'd like to build but no idea of where to start. Plus I see it has something I'd like to extend later so I'd like it to have a solid, architectural (best practice) foundation which will be easy to enhance. I'm not even far enough in to have a specific question but rather like a kid in a candy shop not knowing where to bite (or byte) in... I'd prefer to pay someone to "zoom" with me and walk me through the creation of my project so I get off to the right start... I was hoping someone might be willing to schedule a few hour sessions to screen share while we develop the initial, rudimentary app from scratch. I believe that will not only get me back into the proper mindset after 10+ years, it would start off my project with that sound foundation... Does this make sense?

Again - THANK YOU!!!

Hi,

I would be willing to arrange a few 1-to-1 zoom tutoring sessions to put you on the right track and speed up your initial learning phase. 9 years experience developing PB tools on Windows.

Question: Do you currently have a full PB license, or are you using the limited demo version?

Feel free to PM me to discuss!

You have to look for older posts in the thread. They do work.

Hi Michaeldavid,

I moved from VB6 to Purebasic and want to offer you time to help you out your start. Even tough I found out a lot myself, I believe that with the right instructions you can get up to speed much faster

Zoom or Teams is no problem. Just PM. And ofcourse no fee is needed

Regards,
Geert
