Coder's Log: 2008.03b

I just finished lesson 2. I followed the instruction video, then modified some of the strings (names, products, title) after the tutorial.

Lesson 2: Creating a Windows Application User Interface

This lesson covers the basics of the Visual Studio IDE. Topics include the Toolbox and Properties window, as well as controls such as the button, label, MenuStrip, StatusStrip, and ToolStrip.

Video Duration: 43 minutes, 11 seconds

Notes:

• Any FOOL can learn from his OWN mistakes, but a WISE man learns from the mistakes of OTHERS.
• Arrange controls in columns and rows.
• Use standard fonts and colors.
• Use standard names/descriptions for controls.
• Choose correct control for the given task.
• Set the Tab Order.
