computer language / Irish language exchange

Beannachtaí na Nollag do bhaill an fhóraim seo!

I'm Tadhg an mhargaidh - some of ye might know me from another Irish language forum (I recognise a few names on this forum).

I've a (BA and) PhD degree in Irish (Language) and am currently learning 2 computer languages (mainframe COBOL and VB) for a course I'm doing. I must say that I find learning spoken (human) languages (I've a few others besides English and Irish) a LOT easier than computer languages.

Would there be any learners of Irish on the forum interested in exchanging tuition - an hour of Irish language tuition for every hour of COBOL or VB tuition?

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to send or receive PMs yet but anybody interested in an exchange can respond to this post.

Go raibh maith agaibh,

Tadhg

Really! I found learning Irish way way harder than learning all the computer languages I know put together!

When you say VB, do you mean VBA (sometimes incorrectly called VB or VB6) or VB.Net?
VBA and VBA.Net are different languages. VB, VB2, VB3,...,VB6 were programs used to compile VBA. (VBA the language
has had seven versions).

I'd be happy to talk about VB in Irish!

(I'm actually surprised you have to learn COBOL, it's quite unusual, is this for finance or banking? I know most of the dialects of COBOL, so no problem there either!

Hi there!

I can certainly help you with VB. I'm a complete beginner with Irish, so any start would help. I also know C, C++, python, Java, matlab (and octave), Objective-C, and some other programming languages. Let me know how we'll exchange contact info.

@themantelope:

As soon as I've 10 posts written (some time today?), I'll send you a PM, themantelope.

Is iomaí duine ag Dia, is dócha, a Lon Dubh.

VBA and VBA.Net are different languages. VB, VB2, VB3,...,VB6 were programs used to compile VBA. (VBA the language
has had seven versions). VB.Net a bhí i gceist agam, maith dhom mo chuid aineolais, a LD - tá mé i mo núíosach go fóill ag an gcraic seo.

Bheinn féin ag streachailt agus mé ag caint faoi VB(A)(.Net) i dteanga ar bith, an Sacs-Bhéarla san áireamh! Ar ndóigh, is trí mheán an Bhéarla atá mé ag foghlaim VB.Net agus is féidir go mbeadh an téarmaiocht cheart ag baint leis an ábhar in easnamh orm i nGaeilge. D'fhéadfainn triail a bhaint as, áfach, más mian leat.

Baineann an cúrsa le cúrsaí airgeadais, ceart go leor. Tá mé á dhéanamh agus mé ag súil le post a fháil le cuideachta árachais (nó a leithéid) sa réigiún.

Tá mé cinnte go bhfuil tú féin i bhfad Éireann níos eolaí ar an nGaeilge (nGaoluinn) ná mar atá mise ar na ríomhtheangacha thuasluaite. Bheadh malairt eadrainn éagothrom go maith agus níor cheapfainn gurbh fhiú duit í (níl mé cinnte an mbeadh sé d'fhoighne agat cur suas liom). Gaeilge Chonamara an chanúint a d'fhoghlaim mé féin ach tá mé pósta ar bhean as Gaeltacht Thír Chonaill agus cineál meascán mearaí de chanúint agam faoi láthair. Agus é sin ráite, má tá nó má bhionn ceist agat orm faoi Ghaeilic Ghaeltacht Thír Chonaill, stróic leat.

Halló

an bhfuil duine agaibh ábalta "macros" in VB a dhéanamh in Word?
ó am go chéile bíonn ceisteannaí agam fá dtaobh dó sin

Á, is feárr VB.NET ná VBA mar teanga. Níl an teanga féin ró-dheacair, ach an "object model" a bhaineann léi agus an ".NET framework".

Bheimís ábalta a chaint as Gaelainn leis na téarmaíochtaí sa Bhéarla nó ins an Sacs-Bhéarla glan, is cuma liom

Má tánn tú ag foghlaim VB.Net, bheadh sé furaist C# a dh'fhoghlaim, mar is é an rud is deacra an ".NET framework" (rud a bhaineann le VB.Net agus C# araon) fé mar a dúras thuas agus bíonn níos mó postanna le fáil do dhaoine go bhfuil VB.Net agus C# acu, ach beimíd ábalta é a phlé sna pms.
