The C# and VBNET collections cover Windows forms programming, which I would recommend today instead of C++unless one is developing system utilities as opposed to user interface-based applications. Unfortunately, the C# tutorial started by Chris has not been updated since the version posted at Inthane's site http://GrabBag.AlacornComputer.com I am working with a Drupal developer to design a wiki that is truly efficient to use with a screen reader (well-placed headings, etc.), but is not yet ready.
