Oh, this sounds interesting! Please let me know when you have it ready, and
I'm willing to give it a try. Thanks and good luck with the project.

I'm a computer science professor, but I mostly write compilers, debuggers,
and IDE's for fun. My current project is Sodbeans, which is a program to
make netbeans more accessible to the blind.

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.
