as part of my college course I've just started I get to learn Visual Basic, and they're going to teach us version 6 (lucky me).
I'm sure there's a few people around here who will know about it
Mid_Gen?
if anyone could direct me to some handy resources or books I would much appreciate it, thank you.

Have a browse round amazon, read the customer reviews.
Balls that your using VB 6 tbh, it's not particularly OO-oriented if I remember right. Cheap-asses probably don't wanna cough up for vs.net licenses.
Get a good book though...well worth it.

thanks for the tip, I'll do just that.
I don't know how OO it is, but we've been told we'd be using OO techniques, so...
I'll find out eventually.

I did a bit of vb6 at college, gotta say it was easy to learn and I'm now finding it hard to change to other languages. If you want tutorials and stuff try:
www.vbexplorer.com
or
www.visualbasicforum.com
you have to register a free account with the second, and in my opinion the first is much better.
If you've got any questions about vb, send me a email or something

that is a concern of mine, I'm hoping that I will be able to easily forget it all, tell myself that everything I learnt about VB is useless now and move on, so that I can start afresh with C or C++.
only one way to find out... unfortunatly.

Ewwww. Learn Java. C++ is useful, sure, but Java should be the first of the two really.

/me is reminded of a conversation he had with ZiK about Kulgan bringing us back "presents"
i.e. two japanese girls hidden in his suitcase
(god knows how they would fit, we didn't think that far).

I actually wanted to say Objective-C but it seems to make mid_gen post things questioning such a choice.
