This tutorial will explain how to create a basic timer using Visual Basic Express 2005. If you
don't have it, it's free and you can dowload it from Microsoft's website. All you need
is a few minutes to sit down and read this and a version of Visual Basic. OK, so what will this
timer actually do? Well, you are able to enter a number of minutes and a message, and then click a
button. Once the timer is up, your message pops up and you are reminded! So, basically it's
a little reminder system. I use it to remind me when TV programmes start, when I have to...

I've been working on my Resume for months now. Here is a summary of what I've learned: 1.
Avoid referring to yourself via 1st person or 3rd person terms. Rather than saying "I started this
job in" just say "Began job in"... Employers expect Resumes to be professional and avoid reference
to oneself; and instead speaking in an impersonal tone that presents
achievements/skills/experience/education without personalization. Avoid words like "I", "my", "he",
"she", etc. Leave out personal pronouns and only use the action words/verbs. This also includes
your Ob...

Lesson 4 of 6. I hope you are enjoying them /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"
emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> . QUOTE Hello, in this tutorial we will be creating
a 3D pyramid. We are building this tutorial from Lesson 3, but I took out the 2D objects and placed
a 3D pyramid in there instead. The 3rd axis for drawing can be a litle confusing, but after you get
the hand of it you'll do fine. Now when you are setting a 3D vertex just remember that the
camera is on the positive end of the z axis. So things that have a more positive z axis va...

notes to let you know what each command does, and how you can modify it to fit...

Javascript in action can render some very neat visual effects, which can make your website more
appealing, and sometimes even easier to navigate. Among the most common effects are the
'button' effect, and the mouseover effect. The buttons are very common, of course; if
nowhere else, most of us have seen them at the end of forms (Click the 'submit' button to
proceed...). The basic idea is to have a 'depressible' object, which can give you the
illusion that you're 'pressing' it when you click it. The rollover effect causes
something to h...

MARQUEE Tag Hi, I'm back with yet a second tutorial on how I created the MARQUEE tag.
It's working well - but at first it'll seem that the tag has caused your browser to freeze.
I guess depending on the different ways that IE and Mozilla Compliant Browsers parse HTML tags - the
outputs are a little different. While using FireFox, the Marquee wouldn't start scrolling till
all the page elements & the page itself has FULLY LOADED . Till then, it might seem that the
browser's on the verge of freezing. On the other hand, in IE the Marquee starts ...
