- 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.
