Feeling like a bull in a china shop
Hi everyone!

I have been given a copy of Visual Studio 2003 Academic ... and I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing . Well, correction. I know what I'm doing-I'm coding Windows applications. I'm a geek, and I have a clue, but when I open the software, It's like... "Here's a grid full of dots. Great. What does it do?" I've been looking through chapter 1 of the walkthroughs, but all I'm really seeing is ".NET is this great thing by M$ in which information is transferred from computetr to computer, and the world will go on in happy harmony with excanges of information, oh and did I say exchanges of information?" The rest of the book looks like it's been written for someone who's programmed before... not me. Are there any good tutorials on the Internet that don't advertise and that explains things for the more simple-minded of us? I feel like I should know what I'm doing, but I kind of... don't.

"If only, if only." The moon speaks no reply
Reflecting the sun and all that's gone by.
Be strong, my weary wolf, turn around boldly.
Fly high, my baby bird, my angel, my only.

You might find it useful to learn the syntax of Basic first, before you move on to Visual Studio.

Hi everyone...

Thanks for giving me a place to rant. I have a great book from which I am learning. Sorry about wasting forum space.
