[Discuss]Console Coding Or Windows Form? [Discuss] - Business.Gov - 07-06-2012
Hey SF,
I wanted to have an open discussion about both coding in console applications as well as coding in windows form app.
First Discussion will be over which is better to start from? Which do you think would be easier to learn off of or give a better base.

Depends on the programmers knowledge in the language before actually starting their first program, console coding is fairly simplle and is easy to learn from but form applications are the ones that need to be learnt as it is the most commonly used type

Most common does not mean it's a requirement for having to learn it. That would go with anything.
I would say though that a Console App will give you a better base for programming knowledge, you can focus strictly on the code without much of a GUI. And it's more closely related to other languages as well, having a Main function where the program starts and ends when it's done everything it's needed to do in that scope.

They are both the same really.
as when your using windows form app it generate the code for the controls. its just what you prefer.

i agree on that good point sir

Console App for a better programming language base and WinForms if you want to make something really good looking.
I personally like windows forms better, as I have been programming it:

I'm a vb.net coder, and my projects are basically made only by Win Forms, i actually prefer them instead of console.
I make a lot of applications with Win Forms, so it depends what you need to do.
