I suspected as much :-) (special price) Like the look of that book too - thanks Lou and thanks all of you for the encouragement. I do have a project coming up .. .maybe there is something in just diving in.

I've been a member there for two years; remember to cancel if you don't want them to auto-renew you. :) It's not a bad deal, I use it more as a reference than sitting down and watching a series from beginning to end. If you're just getting started in .NET I recommend learning C#. VB.Net was an easier transition for me from VFP, and the companies I worked for were VB.Net shops (one slowly changed to C#). After doing VB.Net for 5 years and am moving to C# too as it seems to be more widely used. Just take a look at the online job listings... Actually I got about 1/2 way through a really good C# book before the day-job job busy and I started working on an outside web project. Check out "Head First C#" from O'Reilly. It is not your fathers' textbook as they take a little different approach to learning, but it might be look. As always, YMMV. :) http://www.headfirstlabs.com/books/hfcsharp/ ls -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Christina Bull Sent: Monday, May 07, 2012 3:52 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: RE: Started learning C# today I shook hands with my husband last night and promised that by September 1st, I too would start learning C#. I just checked out LearnDevNow.com and the special they are running at the moment looks very good. $99 for annual subscription instead of $349... I might just subscribe. I've already been to http://tinyurl.com/ch768jr and downloaded some manuals but they've been sitting on the hard drive untouched now for ages... Will be interested in how your fair Mike with the skills transfer - I think that's what is holding me up from making the shift - I don't like the idea of knowing what I "want" to do in code, but having to re-learn "how" to do it.
