Anybody? It's the same as this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1107&item=6933755597&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

When it comes up on ebay it goes for £5 or so, just i need it soon and ebayt doesn't exactly have many copies...

The winner is on my course and I felt bad outbidding them, we're all in the same boat. Supposedly the book is discountinued...great!

If anybody has it and would be willing to sell it to me, please PM me or let me know on here, i would be willing to pay £20 or so inc. postage. I am crossing my fingers somebody though learning VB might be fun then got the book and decided otherwise!

i remember that book... *shivers*

unfortunately, i borrowed my book from the uni library...
iirc, i saw loads of 2nd versions for sale though stuck up on the communal noticeboards.

I do have Java by Wu, Software Engineering by Presman, and Software Engineering by somerville if u need any of those...

btw, isn't UMIST/UoM on .Net visual studio?

I might borrow mine I guess, just the library is still a scary place to me, I would have to take in a fully charged mobile phone, sleeping bag and rations, I got lost last time you see....

I'll let you know if I need any of those in the future, cheers.

.net: *looks blank* I dunnoo..... lol, what's that? I think it came up when I tried to edit a bit of HTML....I was just told to get that book and learn VB over the next few months starting next week which is when I need the book for I think.

visual basic??? learn a propper language like.... 8086 assembler or C#

I only do what I am told.....

Sorry Mr Professor bloke, Alex told me to learn a proper language....

lol - I was only joking! But I do think you should tell your lecturer that! probably best not to do it at the beginning of the course though

This is how I am told to talk to higher beings like that:

First apologise for any mistake
Explain why you made such a stupid error
Say how great the person you are talking to is and how their research inspires you blah blah blah....

I therefore reckon the whole "you idiot" speech could be a little dangerous :s I guess that because he won't ever know my name, saying it and running away before he can memorise my face might be an option. Trouble is, I don't really know why learning VB instead of C++/Java etc. is a problem!

It wouldn't be a problem if you were using .NET, but VB6 isn't particularly Object Orientated... but this doesn't really matter... most industries use VB as part of their everyday applications anyway, it's a very useful language to know. C++ is great because it lets you play with memory more and do multi threading, which VB6 is not capable of.

BTW you're v.easy to wind up...

No way, don't take me so seriously!

This week I've learned to keep my sarcastic typing out of site from notauroius paul! (To be read in an american accent, in the style of sesemie street)

Paul, no offence intended, and none was taken.

Watch out, I have the whole night to review missed posts

Assembly language is fun...hours of fun trying to program 68HC08 microprocessors atm

Assembler is fun, but when you spend 1 hour writing a few hundered lines of code, and the processor flicks through it in less than a second it can be a little annoying...
