Re: Can we build a categorized directoryrepository of snippets/scripts? (8 replies, posted in General)
Good thoughts. It might be helpful if you know where I am as a "programmer." I use the word loosely because I am not a programmer, although I have written a few applications here and there, mostly simple and to get a job done. Now I am retired and do it for fun and to keep my brain from rotting. I hand soldered by first computers starting in 1976 and had a career in computers, mostly in sales and management. Programming would have been handy.
My current need could have been satisfied with the old dBASE III or IV ... and I cannot go and buy a commercial system that is too expensive and complex to learn in time to get the job done. I found MVD by accident and I'm glad I did. I think I can make the application I need, but I need to gete through the initial learning curve. I will soon move up from the free version to the current paid version to get the latest features, but I wanted to test it first.
I have always learned by examples, so the code snippets are of great interest. One problem though ... everyone here seems familiar with Delphi and there are references to that in many posts, but it is completely foreign to me.
I will keep plodding away and I will learn as I go. If anyone writes a "My Visual Database for Dummies" please let me know. =8-)

Topic: Can we build a categorized directoryrepository of snippets/scripts? (8 replies, posted in General)
There are hundred of code snippets all over the forums. It would be great if there was a directory or repository where categorized and organized lists of scripts and other code snippets. I see it was a "I want to do this" and "here's the code you can use to do it." A great many learned by example and this would be a great way to copy-paste and learn.
Can it be done as part of this forum? A separate website? An existing repository?
One thing I've noticed is that many scripts are tied to specific versions of MVD as the developers quickly add new features based on user need, which is great. So, any code needs to also include that detail.
What does everyone want?
