Where can I learn to program VB?
TIA I'm in Las Vegas, NV. I would like to learn to program in VB. Can anyone direct me to classes or seminars? Learning from a book is tough; the examples rarely do what I'm looking for. Thanks, JasonK |

Where can I learn to program VB?
There look at the webpage www.cpearson.com. There are excellent examples. The problem with VBA is the poor documentation that microsoft provides. It is better to learn from a book or a good website. If you are an experience programmer taking another course doesn't teach you the techniques, it only forces you to do the exercises. 90% of programming is the techniques, the language doesn't make a difference. I know lots of programming languages and learning a new programming language for me it very simple. I sit down with a book to learn the syntack but I rely on my past programming experiences to actual write the code. "JasonK" wrote: TIA I'm in Las Vegas, NV. I would like to learn to program in VB.

Where can I learn to program VB?
Per JasonK:
I'm in Las Vegas, NV. I would like to learn to program in VB. Can anyone direct me to classes or seminars? Learning from a book is tough; the examples rarely do what I'm looking for. I'd think of it from four perspectives: 1) The syntax/capabilities of VB. 2) Coding solutions for various recurring situations. 3) Precisely what you want to accomplish at the moment. 4) Overall strategy/discipline for writing good code. For #4, I'd recommend a book: "Code Complete" by Steve McDConnel (Microsoft Press). -- PeteCresswell |

Where can I learn to program VB?
Look he http://www.vbtutor.net/vbtutor.html Be aware that VB comes in many forms. Visual Basic (VB6) is a compilable language, whereas Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) cannot be compiled into cryptic coded files. VBA operates on running compilation. Then there is VB.Net, etc. So when you ask about learning VB, it is a very broad question. Good luck. "JasonK" wrote in message ... TIA I'm in Las Vegas, NV. I would like to learn to program in VB.

Just so it's clear to the OP, that link is for a tutorial for the compiled version of Visual Basic, not the VBA version. They are similar, but there are a lot of differences as well. Since the OP's question was posted in an Excel newsgroup, I would think he would want a tutorial on VBA instead. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "JLGWhiz" wrote in message ...

Yes, the website is for VB6, and my comments that followed are to make the OP aware that there are differences between the many versions of Visual Basic. "Rick Rothstein" wrote in message ...
