I would like information on Visual Basic (the Windows variety). Can anyone give me pointers to books, magazine articles, or ftp-able documents that describe VB? Since version 2.0 is due out soon (available now?), I am especially interested in information pertaining to that version. What am I looking for? I would like to do some programming under Windows but am short on time (this is a spare time project and my spare time has dwindled to almost nothing). From what I've heard so far, VB is supposed to handle a lot of the tedium for you. For those of you bemoaning the constant BASIC bashing, I'll admit to programming in C at work; however, I am not averse to using "off-beat" languages (I've been known to dabble in ICON, Forth, and other lesser-known languages). Thanks. -- David A. Bright dab@Bright.MN.ORG (home) Secure Computing bright@SCTC.COM (work)
