Re: Updating vb6/vba knowledge - too late to teach old dog new tricks?

gkbrenne,

Surely not for 2005, it brought a lot of what Microsoft calls security. (All kind of methods to make everything impossible, the Vista way of thinking).

Version 2008 has new things like Infer, Linq and is much more stable than 2005

Just my opinion.

I feel like I've been left behind. I've been happiliy programming in VBA,
some VB6, and VB Scripting with ASP. Lately, when I search the web for code
snippets, it's harder and harder to NOT find something to do with dot net.

So, this old dog is ready to learn some new tricks. But I have no idea
where to start! Does it matter if I start with 2008 or 2005? What is the
express version? Is there a great learning book that I can start with?
