Re: Visual Basic and AS/400

[Ken.Slaugh@xxxxxxxxxx]

I don't think a good place to start with VB is from an AS/400 point of
view. Why do you ask the question this way? Do you have a specific project
to get started on?

I have found that the learning curve for VB really had nothing to do with
the AS/400. Once you learn the IDE (SEU equivalent), the concept of event
driven programming really was the most difficult.

One thing about the VB environment is that sample code is quite abundant
and reusable components are plentiful. If you wish to purchase a book then
'Hard-core Visual Basic' from Microsoft Press has been my favorite and
easier to read than most tech manuals. Try to acquire a MSDN Library on CD
as well, it's filled with code samples and the interactive keyword search
is quite useful.

Good luck.

What are some good resources for learning about using Visual Basic with the
AS/400?
