I found that there are a lot of good books out there for self learning and using sites like the one bellow to investigated code you will soon be on your way.\nI found personly that I took a course with learning libary and used a few of these sites and in 6 months I had a qualification and the confidence to code in vb.net.\nthe course was about £900 ($1400) so it is not the cheapest option but it does give you a recognise qualification in most case's, which of course if you are looking for a job with your vb.net coding can only be a good thing

Sam's Teach Yourself series is always good. If you just need basics, the For Dummies series works well. Microsoft Press's "Step By Step" books are also outstanding if you just want to quickly learn how to write programs with the Microsoft IDE.\n\nHowever, since Visual Basic 6 is a legacy product, why don't you invest in a book about Visual Basic .NET 2005?

I commonly recommend "Visual Basic .NET Step By Step" by Microsoft Press, which, as its name implies, takes you step by step through how the language works, using projects to demo new concepts. \n\nYou could also give a try to "Beginning Visual Basic. NET" by Wrox, which is more aimed at teaching you the language itself, unlike Step By Step, which is more aimed at teaching you how to do certain things with the language.\n\nSearch for them at amazon.com and you can see preview pages, etc.

Get an old pc with MS BASIC on it, and then look around for a "Idiot's Guide..." book about BASIC. It's so out dated though... Why not learn C#, C++, J#...?

check out http://www.pscode.com for examples.  You would need to use ADO.NET in addition to VB.NET in order to obtain the required data.

Writing software for the Windows Operating System might be a start.\n\n\nStart learning Visual Basic .NET.  Start with the Teach Yourself Visual Basic .NET in 24 hours, then Teach yourself Visual Basic .NET in 21 (a more comprehensive book) and then find a book on Advanced Visual Basic .NET.\n\nEvery application involves databases now, and there is no way around it.  But if you read those three books that I mentioned, you will have a great understanding of software engineering (and computer programming) and will be able to start writing your own software applications.\n\nEngineering is just a term that involves creating designs.  So what a software engineer does is creates a layout or design of a program to show how the program will work.   Then you take that design and write code to fit the design.

Mainly VB.NET makes use of the .NET framework which makes it more powerful since it allows it to access so many different classes.

I am going to presume, for now, you are talking about Visual Basic.net? Try out the free Visual Basic.net express edition compiler from Microsoft. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/ that's the site to get it.\n\nIf you are talking, however, about visual Basic 6 (or 5,4 etc.) then I don't think there are any free ones.\n\nHowever, if you are talking about a compiler for any random language, search 'the free site' .com\n\nPragmatic Python,

Have projects in VB.NET become obsolete?\n\nJust reading books can help improve grammar. Or you can just go to the thrift shop and pick up an old English book. As a general rule of thumb, if it sounds wrong it is. But with all the slang we use today, thats not always correct. I dont know of any websites to help you.
