[AccessD] FW: Examples In Best Coding VB.net

[Lawrence Mrazek]

Paul:

Good luck with your switch. Have you considered moving to C# instead of
VB.NET? Asking because (I've found) most of the code examples seem to be
written in C#. I've programmed in both, and also found the transition from
linear to OOP was the biggest hurdle.

Microsoft's virtual academy (free) and Pluralsight are great resources for
training.
