Visual Basic / VB.net
« on: November 02, 2006, 05:56:19 PM »
I've been looking around at jobs, because basically I want to earn more money (STILL paying off student debt!), and as I have experience of Excel (I use it daily), I was thinking of trying to use the experience I already have.

Therefore, what's the best way of going about learning Visual Basic? Is there a way I can learn at home and get a qualification? What's the best recognised qualification? Please bear in mind I won't be learning it for my health, but so I can get a better paid job.

[i.e. well-meant though they are, please no "Visual Basic is a waste of time learn xyz instead" comments. If I had a choice I'd go back to learning C++ again!]

Thank you very much in advance
I like Amigas

Thanks for the replies guys - I didn't know that I could download Visual Studio free, so that's obviously the place to start.

Also, as one of you pointed out, I could get away with playing around with the vba editor built into Excel at work when I know what I'm doing - people at work won't know that I'm not working. Hell, if I play around with html at work they assume I'm working really hard :lol:
