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 No sense in using an outdated library (mono) that only supports half of the features.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. On 2/15/2011 11:28 AM, DaShiell, Jude T.

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. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of DaShiell, Jude T.

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. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Otis D Blue Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 11:22 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Getting started learning VB6 Hi, Could someone suggest where I can go to learn how to use VB as a beginner?
