.NET Forum / Languages / VB.NET / November 2006Recommendations - VB .Net courses/seminars
Hello - I am looking for recommendations for courses/seminars regarding VB .Net and Visual Studio .Net, preferrably in the Northeast. Has anyone attended something they have been particularly impressed with? Also, any suggestions for good books, CDs, will be appreciated!  SignatureSandy I have found these books to be good resources: Microsoft Press Step-By-Step books for .NET (C#, VB, ASP) Visual Basic 2005 Black Book Training by New Horizons in the Northeast has been very productive for me. > Hello - > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Also, any suggestions for good books, CDs, will be appreciated! I've been very impressed with the new book _Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005_, although the author's name slips my mind. ----- Tim Patrick - www.timaki.com Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005 > Hello - > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Also, any suggestions for good books, CDs, will be appreciated! Wasn't the author Francesco Balena? :-) Just Kidding!, Seth Rowe > I've been very impressed with the new book _Start-to-Finish Visual Basic > 2005_, although the author's name slips my mind.

I don't know about that. You could do worse than being compared to or mistaken for Francesco Balena. Robin S. ----------------- > Ahhh!

Sorry, he's the author of the only .Net book I have on my desk at work. Besides, I could have said the book was by "The Master Programmer" (although why would he write a book about a "dead" language?) Sorry - I can't resist a good inside joke :-) Thanks, Seth Rowe > Ahhh!

That's funny, I didn't see that in any of the press releases. I saw a lot of stuff about powerful new capabilities, and I have to admit the new data binding stuff is awesome, and I'm looking forward to LINQ, but I don't remember anything about dining recommendations. One wonders why one who dislikes MS and VB.Net so much would be reading and/or posting in a VB.Net newsgroup.

Comments below. > f.ck you No thanks. I try not to do that with angry bitter men. > you know that they all bend us over backwards I disagree. > they're scaring us that 'vb6 programs wont run in vista' when in fact > they do. > that kindof wishy-washy uncertainity? Haven't seen any of that. Everything I saw said they made significant effort to make sure VS6 and VB6 would still work in Windows Vista. > it's just a joke > > giving us a debugger without edit and continue? > absolutely unacceptable. *My* debugger has edit and continue. > it's just bullshit > > -Aaron Have a nice day.

Im not angry bitter I SPEAK THE f.cking TRUTH BITCH life is not flowers; MS killed the most popular language EVER for no f.cking reason.. just because they're scared of this little wimpy company named Sun. I just wish that MS could buy Sun and shut down this whole Java crap and set the record straight and really really focus on VB. I would rather flip burgers than ever use any programming language called C or C++ or C# or Java. -Aaron > Comments below. > [quoted text clipped - 87 lines] > >> >> > >>> > >> >> > >>> Also, any suggestions for good books, CDs, will be appreciated! MESSAGE TO ALL NEW PROGRAMMERS CONSIDERING MS TOOLS..... If you are new too programming and considering Visual Basic (including any new versions - 2005 etc) - take this advice.... Reconsider learning it at all ! Do yourself a favour and learn a different language. Microsoft constantly change languages and discontinue them. Ask anyone whom knew Visual Basic 6.0 and they will tell you how MS has destroyed the language. Learning VB is a bad idea because its very likely that VB will soon be dropped. I agree with Aaron, PHP is a much better choice. The Grand Master > Im not angry bitter > [quoted text clipped - 103 lines] > > >> >> > >>> > > >> >> > >>> Also, any suggestions for good books, CDs, will be appreciated! your debugger has edit and continue? are you referring to VB6? the edit and continue in VB2005 isn't effective; it's slow; it doesn't work in half situations -Aaron > Comments below. > [quoted text clipped - 87 lines] > >> >> > >>> > >> >> > >>> Also, any suggestions for good books, CDs, will be appreciated! What is your level of expertise? Have you done VB in the past? Or it completely new? Have you done any VB.Net at all? I heard Tim Patrick has out a new book called "Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005" that's supposed to be pretty good. The VB2005 step-by-step book from Microsoft is really, really basic. For more thorough info, try Francesco Balena's VB2005 : The Language book. I don't really think it's for a beginner-beginner, but would be a good second book. It has no forms or data, just The Language.
