I need to learn Visual Basic.

[Phoenix15]

I need to learn VB ASAP, and am trying to figure out the best way to do it. Would a book be sufficient? I need to be able to use it in a work enviroment for different projects. I don't know if there are any classes available in my area. What about something like the University of Phoenix online learning? Anyone have any experience with this? Any other suggestions as to a good way to learn fast?

Thanks,

Jason

Have you ever done any other type of programming in different languages (C, C++, Java, etc)?

If so, learning VB will be a snap. Especially if you have a week to do it. The Learn VB in 24 or 48 hours books are designed for people with previous programming experience.

Just look up tutorials online, VB.Net is pretty easy to learn quickly.

One Result
Another

zero, nada, none.


That is why I am worried about trying ot learn it on my own. I don't have any point of reference, because I have zilxh in the way of programming experience.

VBA is easy. VB.NET is different than VBA, you should learn both. Get Visual Studio and a book and you will be fine. Visual Basic is basic.

Maybe you should try one of those big intro Dietel books?

How did this happen? Why would your boss be giving you programming tasks if you weren't a programmer?

You'll be able to go a hell of a lot faster on your own than following some online course.

Get the SAMS 21 Day book for VB and you can knock it out in 10-14 days.

Not a requirement. I want to do something on my own.

Did you lie on a resume?

 

[Cattlegod]

if you had programming experience like the said above, it would be a snap.

you are in a spot with no hope now though.
