»Parser library using nom for VB6 (projects, forms, designers, etc).
VB6Parse aims to be a complete, end-to-end parser library for VB6. Including.«
It was a very, very, very long time ago when I had to extend and correct VisualBasic code, now I can also do it via Rust. Admittedly, the project is very young and I don't want to have to use it, but I understand why it exists.
My old Microsoft Product keygen written in #VB6 works!
I just tested it with FrontPage 98, and the generated key (not the pictured key, it uses an 11-digit key) worked. 🥳
( https://gurney.dev/posts/mod7/ by @daniel has more about the algorithm at play: my program would not have been possible without their documentation of the Mod7 Algorithm used by 90s Microsoft.)

Any #DotNet#CSharp#VisualBasic developer in the room? I want to start learning it, and I'm having a bad time on what to choose for starters. Taking into account that I'm on Linux, can I really do that? And do I have to use Mono, .NET, anything else? And, C#, Visual Basic, both, neither? I'm a bit confused. Thanks! :)
Leider wusste ich in den 90ern nicht, dass #basic bei DOS dabei war - ich hatte nur die „Shell“-Programmierung mit GOTO und IF ERRORLEVEL gefunden und bin damit schnell an Grenzen gestoßen
@remy9999 Mein Ethik-Lehrer, der auch Latein und Alt-Griechisch konnte, hatte damals ein Übersetzungsprogramm Deutsch-Latein geschrieben. Und ein Stundenplan-Programm, das alle Klassen, Lehrer und Räume in Stundenpläne gießt. In #VisualBasic…
Few people on the planet this is useful for, but here’s a #RoslynAnalyzer for when you have VB legacy code and want compiler warnings if it had Option Strict Off:
Hi, I'm Andy. I started my technology journey with a ZX Spectrum 48K. I learned #BASIC. Later I moved up to the Spectrum 128K +2. A few years before starting college, I taught myself #VisualBasic 5 in the bath (I didn't have a PC, just a book). My first computer was a Cyrix 686. At college I learned #HTML (not CSS that wasn't really a thing). Since then I have taught myself #PHP and #Javascript and I have a million courses on Udemy to learn other stuff.
