hi,

i went through 2 different trade schools for programming, was promised 
placement/internships from both and never did get a foot in the door for 
programming ten years ago.

i have been getting used to vb.net and create small apps for personal use.

I gained a contract with the state of missouri and provide rehab engineering 
when i get a client here and there.

  Haha. Ok, that is me. Jacques
  I work at a huge, international civil engineering company in South Africa in 
a small software development department that has nothing much to do with civil 
engineering. :)
  This is my 3rd year here on a contract basis, but before that I was a partner 
in a custom software development house for 4 years and before that I worked 
several years writing data processing software for the telecoms industry.

  I got this job because of a connection here that we worked with on a big 
project while I was still at my previous company. He heard I was in the market 
and so they made me an offer.

  I'm actually quite keen to get into something new now as the traveling to the 
office is becoming very painful for my family. Something working from home etc.

  Don't know if that was of any help. :)

          I am a professional C# developer that has been using Visual Studio 
since version 2003. Almost 7 years now.
          There is very little, that I am not able to do with the Express 
version of Visual Studio at home that I do with the Premium versions at work.

            here's my two cents: If someone wants cross-platform, there are 
things like c++, Python, or Java. If the OP wants windows programming, then use 
what's there. vs express and .net framework 4.0. No sense in using an outdated 
library (mono) that only supports half of the features. I like the idea of the 
project, but really the .net framework is going to be used anywhere in the 
market.

              so your recommending the OP use an out-dated version of a 
framework that

              is supported natively on windows? we're 3 versions on from 
version 2.0,
              with lots of new features and lots of changes.

                Mono is not the same as the .net framework. Just get the express

              edition

                and you're good. Also: if you are a student, you get vs 2010 
free, and
                Microsoft also gives out vs 2010 ultimate to MSDNAA members.

Fortunately,
                  mono can be installed and will run on Windows as well as 
Linux and

              the

                  price tag is $0.00.

                  No, not without knowing your visual status.  If you have 
memory of
                  having had vision or better yet have a little useable vision 
your

              best

                  bet would be to learn the language with windows forms.  If 
you have

              no

                  memory of vision, then your best bet would be to learn the 
language
                  using the console interface, and these are two completely 
different
                  paths.

                  Hi,

                  Could someone suggest where I can go to learn how to use VB 
as a
                  beginner?
                  I would like to get the understanding of the language and how 
to

                create

                  software with it.
