That's fine. I just want to do it as a hobby really. Not looking for a job
in programming. Thanks for your thoughts. Good luck with the project.

You should take classes in the field and get a degree from someplace if you
want to go Professional. It is not often a company will hire a hobbiest to
work on their Production systems.
As for applications, I am working on a StarTrek Fan Website using VWD, Vb
and Sql Server Express 2008. We use many technicals to do the same thing on
diferent pages to demonstrate how they work. I have found that to be a good
way to learn. For example, we access a Sql Server Database using the native
SqlCommand object, a SqlDataAdapter, a SqlDataSource bound to a ListView and
upcoming: A Strongly Typed DataSet using TableAdapters, and LINQ based
technical routines.These are the major technicals involved in accessing a
Database from Visual Studio. Learning them by Googling articles has taken a
very, very long time. Learning a language syntax is not too bad but, again,
I do not think most companies will hire you without a degree of some sort
related to the work you plan on doing.
