QB Express Celebrates One Year: Issue #12 Released

Post by Pete »

<p><strong>QB Express Celebrates One Year: Issue #12 Released</strong> -- Posted by <a href="mailto:pberg1@ithaca.edu">Pete</a> on July 20, 2005<br>
<a href="http://www.petesqbsite.com/sections/exp ... x.html">QB Express Issue #12</a> has been released, which marks the magazine's one year anniversary!
<br>
<br>In this special issue, we look back over the past year of QB Express and give special recognition to QB Express's contributors. Adigun A. Polack brings us two retrospective articles on QB Express's first twelve issues, and I also share my thoughts on QB Express's first year.
<br>
<br>Other articles include reviews of <i>The Griffon Legend</i>, <i>Pixel Snake Gem Hunt</i> and <i>Trek</i>, "The Evolution of GUIs" by MystikShadows, QB GUI news by Jacob Palm, two articles about the QBasic.com forum community and an interview with Nekrophidius. Tutorials include Part 6 of Na_th_an's I.F. series, Music Composition Pt. 3 by Matt2Jones, dumbledore's second FB WX-C tutorial, "Useful QB Algorithms" by Moneo, a tutorial on Database Design by MystikShadows, and "Coding a Parallax Scrolling Platformer Chapter #2" by Na_th_an. This is the largest issue of QB Express ever, weighing in at nearly 150 pages!

Happy birthday man! What day? (this is a fork birthday loaded week, me, my friend, my other friend's girlfriend, now you).

Glad to see one of my submissions topped a list, even if the list was given in no particular order...

Great, I especially liked the random algorithms article, it was ammusing.

That's what I'm trying to figure out - me and 2 other people on the same forum (and it's not a very big forum) all have July 24th as a birthday. The closest thing I can think of is Halloween, although that's a very wierd time to be making babies.

I just worked it out though, and in order to be born in the last week of July, you'd have to be conceived around mid-october, not the end, unless you're 2 weeks early.

Although often sometimes if he's the first born, it happened alot that the first born is a week or two late :-)

Great issue, Pete! :D
I'm still reading.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank MystikShadows for his kind words about my tutorial on Data Validation Implementation on QB Express issue #11.

In issue #12, I particularly enjoyed MystikShadows' part 1 of a tutorial on Database Design. Having dwelled on the subject for years, I can appreciate his gift for presenting the salient facts without getting into much of the gory details. Great job! I can't wait for part 2.
