Increasing my skills
 

Hi, I'm wondering what I should do to enhance my skills at vb.net, I know how to at the most combine arrays. What should I do now, I've been taking a class and just now almost finished my final. It was easy too. What is next? Thanks. :cool:

The only way to learn more is to code more. Make a few more applications and explore. The program doesn't always have to make sense, you can just randomly select five controls to use and throw them into a program. Do you know how to use classes? Namespaces? All the controls etc. There is always more to learn. You just have to explore. I always find it fun to look up free code. In your case "Free VB.Net code". Google that and look at what you can find. Some link/header will catch your attention.

Agreed. Also, if you can, buy a good book about VB2005. A good one would be Microsoft Press' "Programming Visual Basic 2005 Step by Step", or SAMS Publishing's "Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2005 in 24 hours" by James Foxall. Foxall's very good in bringing the teaching method to beginner's level. If you decide to go advanced, again, from MS Press, "Programming Visual Basic 2005: The Language" by Francesco Balena, or Sybex's "Mastering Visual Basic 2005" By Evangelos Petroutsos. I admit, though, that I think I wasted my time with Petroutsos, since he doesn't know how to deliver the language very well; he always leaves huge gaps in the chapters. I was fooled by the "Mastering" title, you might say
