Hi,

I'm putting my typing skills where my mouth is. I've started a file of VB.net 
notes. In my notes, I'm narrating as I start on my journey to learn this 
language. I'm using EdSharp to write my code. I'm going to start sending 
installments to this list.

While I was reading, I already see that I made a mistake about a compiler 
directive. If you want VB to force you to create variables before you use them, 
you have to put this line in your program.

option strict

And interestingly, unlike the old forms of BASIC, Visual Basic.net is not case 
sensitive in its keywords.

As I start to send installments, if you like, go over the tutorial and suggest 
improvements.

Perhaps I will put it up on the web somewhere in some form.

Jim
