I'm not convinced by these leaning online. There is no feedback, your told

and that's it. But mainly, do you remember your first VFP lesson. Well I

believe to learn something like C# for example, you need a reason. In other

words you need to have something you want to write. This is how I did it. I

was in need of writing a web service not doable in VFP so I had to use C#.

C# is not far removed from other languages but you need to know how to do

stuff that in VFP was so easy, and C# so hard. Best way is to start a

project you need to do and find out as you go how to do it. Bing subjects

(yes I know will stop using google after I spotted that they share searches

with faceache) you need to know and even ask here. Steve is a great guy who

has helped me no end with this stuff on and off list. In other words just do

it. You will get it and if you have been programming for a while it will

make sense. But I think these online lessons will be a waste of money.

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...
