Re: CF to .Net - recommended training?
I would not mess with VB and found a lot of people share that preference. I have been through a couple of the .NET training courses and did not leave all that impressed with the course. Felt like had I spent the same amount of time with a book or two that I would have ultimately been much better off. There might be some good courses out there that someone else could chime in on.

Re: CF to .Net - recommended training?
http://www.asp.net/learn/ is a good place to start. I recommend the video tutorials. If your company has already made the decision to go with .NET then there is a good chance that the person that made that decision has already decided on the preferred programming language. Are you sure you have a choice? -Mike Chabot On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 10:53 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My company is switching to .Net.

Re: CF to .Net - recommended training?
I've played with both. VB is far more bloated than C#, but VB is also used for developing Windows applications. So is C#. Anything you can do with one .NET language, you can do with another. If you are going to be developing only for web, then C# is far more compact and clean. If you are also going to be developing Windows applications, VB is more useful there. VB is only more useful there if you have experience writing VB desktop or console applications. If you have no prior experience with C# or VB, I would strongly recommend that you learn C#, since it's the .NET reference language and it's very similar to Java. VB isn't really that similar to anything commonly used elsewhere.

Re: CF to .Net - recommended training?
Ok. So it sounds like learning C# is a good place to get started. Thanks all. Would anyone recommend a good path or order for tackling it all? Is learning C# the best idea? Should I get more familiar with Visual Dev product first? Thanks I've played with both. VB is far more bloated than C#, but VB is also used for developing Windows applications. So is C#.

Re: CF to .Net - recommended training?
I learned C# and Visual Studio at the same time, kind of have to have one to do the other. No, you can write C# with whatever you like. I like the (free) SharpDevelop.NET IDE, myself. But if you plan to use Visual Studio, you can certainly learn them simultaneously.

Re: CF to .Net - recommended training?
I think it would be career suicide to not learn Visual Studio if embarking down the path of being a .NET developer. I am going to make a guess here but I do not think doing .NET development is what you do for a primary source of income to put food on the table.

Yeap and every place I have talked to and every person I know who does it continuly runs into MS shops that want and expect their programmers to be using the MS tools.
