I only know visual basic, ASP, and MS Access and would like to know what are some good resources to upgrading my skills to this technology.

Use some .net sites to study .net.from the sites u can get started with the basic conceptsgradually U can go through the detaled section also.from the sites u will get sample projects  in bothe vb.net and C#.As u have the vb background it is better to start with vb.net.\npls check the following sites\n\nwww.asp.net\nwww.mocrosoft.com\nwww.C#friends.com\nhttp://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/13/67679.aspx\nhttp://www.geocities.com/uttoransen4/... \n\nU will get the sample project with full code and Databse from the StarterKits\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/starterkits/\n\nTo study SQL first u should study the SQl statements.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/default.mspx\nwww.sqlservercentral.com/

you can go to w3schools.com and click on "Learn ASP.NET" or do a google/yahoo search for (in quotes) "Learn ASP.NET" or "ASP.NET Tutorials"\n\n4guysfromrolla.com is a good site also

Try this online tutorial - it is brilliant. Not only does it have downloadable pdf files covering various topics on Access, but also exercises and example databases.\n\nhttp://www.cob.ohio-state.edu/~muhanna_1/837/MSAccess/tutorials.html\n\nHope this helps.

I would recommend going to Barnes & Nobles, or some other bookstore that also sells tutorial stuff. I am sure they have VB, just like they have Cisco training as well.

The language itself is capable of more than Visual Basic 6 and the development environment is improved greatly.\n\nApplications developed with Visual Basic .NET (2005 Express) use the .NET framework, so there is still a run-time that needs to be installed on the client machines.  (Although updates for Windows XP and Windows Vista will have these.\n\nOut of the box, you can use Visual Basic .NET to create console applications, class libraries and Windows forms applications.  While there is not a project template for VB.NET Windows services, you can still create them.\n\nVB.NET can still use 3rd party dynamic link libraries (DLLs) and COM/ActiveX controls and components.  You do have to download a separate 'Express' product to use Visual Basic .NET for Web development.\n\nOf course, the best thing about Visual Basic 2005 Express is that you can download it for *free*.  I've included the link below.

Learn to use Microsoft Access and build it yourself.  You're not likely to get someone to write you a database for free.\n\nAccess has pre-built databases and wizards that spoon feed you through development.  Try it, you may enjoy it.

That's fairly specific, how about in any format!!!\n\nOne place to start is simply the microsoft office websites.  They have training packages that are free, and do somewhat resemble powerpoint.  Past that read your helpfiles, press all the buttons in the toolbar (select some data first), and work on spefic problems.  \n\nI have found some links you can look at to get you started.\n\nAlso if in the UK, i think you can get free if not cheap training through LearnDirect.

First of all you introduce yourself to computers. Take a short term certification course to learn Windows and MS Office (MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, MS Access) and Internet. You can learn it yourself with a good book also. \n\nAfter that look for the softwares available in the market for your field.\n\nSpend some regular time on your Computer.This will add to your confiedence and knowledge.

Consider this good luck. Visual Basic 6 is a legacy product. \n\nInstead, install Visual Basic .NET Express. You can download it free from microsoft.com

Hey\nSpecialization in what ??? is it design that you want to get hold of or is it Administration ???...\nfigure it out and let me tell you ...u got to be more quicker...\nI am already working on sqlserver 2005 for more than 6 months now..\nunless you upgrade yourself to that as quick as possible.. u will be obsolete..  i suggest that is what you shud aim at... :))\n\nThe thing is Microsoft Certifications is the one you should target at... you can check the info in this link....\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/mcdba/requirements.asp\n\nonce you finish this let me also know... i too can ask questions to the DB Specialist  ;>)\n\ncheers\n\nBabu\nCovansys

You asked which courses to join but have given enough detail. What is the cheapest/best also depends on your location.\n\nNeed to also give details of what experience you have and what kind of programming you want to do (web development, application design, database programming etc.)\n\nIt is a very vast subject so please be more specific.  :-)\n\nFor general applications, a good place to start is Visual Basic as the syntax is quite simple to understand. Although a Visual Basic compiler is commercial software and costs money.\n\nFor web development, I suggest taking a look at www.w3schools.com. Has some very good instruction in there. Also download PHP which is free from www.php.net. Although you really need to know at least HTML first (standard script for web pages). PHP is open source and completely free. It also integrates well with MySQL (a database application) which you can download from www.mysql.com.\n\nPHP is also a fully object oriented language hence making it very powerful.\n\nAlthough Visual Basic supports the use of objects, it isn't fully object oriented.\n\nFor an overview on object oriented programming, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_oriented.

Visual Basic, or any programming language for that matter is extremely useful for a variety of uses.\n\nWhen I was starting off programming, I mostly wrote small utilities to make my, and my co-workers' jobs easier.  Early on, when I worked for a PC configuration company, I wrote a VB-based database application that used barcode scanners to track systems that went through the configuration center.  Prior to this, the process was done manually.  \n\nLater, as a desktop support tech, I wrote utilites to parse text files, backup common files when re-installing, or upgrading a user's PC, automatic virus updates on servers, etc.  Any manual data recording tasks (filling out forms, paper filing, etc.) can be enhanced, or replace by software.  Repetitive tasks can be replaced by automated utilities.  Even simple games to entertain during long stretches (like airplane flights) can be written (professional graphics not necessary).

I'd read the ASP.NET book first.  There is a lot of stuff based around the .Net Class library that you need to know to effectively do any .Net programming, but the VB.Net book is going to spend a lot of time showing you how to create Windows-based applications, and it sounds like you're primarily interested in web programming.  Keep the VB.Net book around, though - it will probably come in handy as a reference guide.

You could do this in a MS Word document by typing the instructions and supplementing them with hyperlinks to where files are stored and to the useful websites.\n\nIf you are looking for specific software there is a huge range to consider. You might want to look at ones focused on GTD (Getting Things Done) - see below - but the learning curve for any specialised product is going to be substantial. Do you have that sort of time?\n\n///
