    Hi

    Is there a decent web site for newbie's that you can recommend?

    I'm half decent at VBA
    but with .net I really am talking about learning to tie shoe laces level!

    Cheers

    Hi Dave,

    I'm in the same boat. Here's what I found to be helpful, at least for me.

    1. websites
    www.codeproject.com tutorials, sample code, etc.
    http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx Microsoft's C#
    and other .NET discussion groups.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/default.aspx C# Developer Center

    2. a PRINTED book "Microsoft Visual C#.NET Step By Step" John Sharp & Jon
    Jagger (Covers C# 2003)

    3. Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 - I also have C# 2003 Standard but VS2005 has a
    more user friendly UI and more power to grow into.

    4. Lastly, I felt it was easier to learn by working on an actual project
    rather than just working through the above book. For my first project, I
    started building some trig & geometry tools that will run inside AutoCAD.

    I would start with the book to get the basics (syntax, basic methods,
    compiling, etc.). Then explore some of the samples included with the VS
    beta.

    Hope that helps,

    Scott
