Thanks for the advice. Anyone else got any insights. Other book recommendations?

I moved to VB.net as this seemed the obvious choice...but I did suggest at the time it was an opportunity to start afresh with C#...missed opportunity. I am now considering learning C# - I reckon Vb.net will be around for quite a while yet.....5-10 years. But what may happen sooner is that more and more sample code/blogs etc. etc. will be in C#. As I am 44 now, I don't want to start learning C# in 5-10 years time say. Learning .net , asp.net and the nuances of C# is a big ask - but like anything probably worth it in the end. (once you are proficient take a look as CSLA - I use this framework and code generation for my Business Object classes, and it's pretty neat - but one thing at a time)..

This has no doubt been answered before on the list but I wonder if a consensus has been arived at. The question is, coming from Access how do I start learning .Net? Which are the best books, or other resources? I don't even know the questions to ask really. Am I talking about VB.Net? I guess so. Will I need to also learn ASP.Net, ADO.Net, xyz.Net, ramalamadingdong.Net or is VB.Net all I need? Anyone got a learning plan for me? How long is this going to take me (to be able to turn out a decent app)? What software do I need to buy (or will the free Express version get me going?) So many questions, so little brain. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- Why not visit our website www.bury.gov.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this e-mail and any files transmitted with it is for the intended recipient(s) alone.
