6.0 vs 2003.NET
 

i have a 6.0 book but i have 2003.NET and i was wonderin if reading the book would be pointless. i'm thinking i could at least get some basic sytax out of it.

They are totally different. You would be better off getting a .Net book. You could get some syntax out of it (very little at best), but that’s not what’s important, you can always look up syntax; the theory is what is important. 6.0 is garbage compared to .Net, so I wouldn’t even bother with it.

yeah, they're so different that it probably would be pointless.

good thing the book was free. so was the software. yay for connections at intel.

Just read about solutions and the different kinds of projects. They aren't THAT different. I use .NET 2003, but often follow directions for 6.0 with success. That's not to say reading the book will help greatly.

the 6.0 book can help you with, is this;

If the book is accompanied with a CD; and If it has some solved examples in the CD (probably), then you can copy them on to you disk and use the wizard in VB.Net to migrate the old to new .Net ..:-P

that sounds like too much work. i'll stick to a .Net book.
