Hi Rick, Here's my point of view for what it's worth. I'll be happy if you do the IDE part. If that's all you do, I will be extremely grateful. I don't think you should have to do the C# part. If you *want* to do the VB part, that would be a bonus. Maybe along the way, if someone wants to take your tutorial and add in the c# stuff, that'd be another bonus. Just speaking selfishly, if someone can perform a miracle and help me stop stressing about objects and such long enough to do something useful in them, I will again be grateful. Who knows, maybe someday I'll be able to give back in this area. Just your willingness to help this far has inspired me enough to take another crack at it, and I thank you for that.

I was getting major headaches trying to work in CSharp again, just cant handle the stress. I am working on the VB tutorial, or tutorials, for pretty much Raw Beginners. I am just demonstrating the use of a TextBox, ListBox and Button. Also, I touch on Variables, DataTypes, Operators, Arethmetic, the If conditional and Strings. I still have to do looping, Building a Class with functions and subs and perhaps a couple of other basics. The tutorials are just to get them working with the IDE and understanding, from a working viewpoint, how to do things in the IDE to make a program. After that they should be able to handle a project started from the ground up with the rest of us. I regret I can not do a CSharp series but I mean it really makes me grind my teeth working in that language so I'll just have to beg off that and hope someone converts the tutorials into CSharp. I have no idea of what project to use as an ongoing project. Perhaps a Music Library with a player, Video or even a Investing application to pick stocks. I have no clue what would be most popular with the folks. What do you have in mind? I had thought about a Database IDE sort of thingy to build databases like MsAccess or the Sql Server CE types but that might not be popular with too many folks since it is pretty specialized. I just am a clueless slog and am open for suggestions while I wack out these beginner articles.

I have a personal project that I think I'd like to create that I think I may be able to keep re-doing, but add functionality to as I learn more about C# and the environment. It wouldn't exhaust how to work in C# or the environment, but would keep me interested. Jim Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.
