color=#0000ff size=2>I delivered VB6 as part of the IS course for a few
years and have coursework material developed for it. I am putting it
together into a separate publication so it can be used stand alone. It will
mainly focus on the basics of programming plus using text files and databases
with it, etc., rather than focussing on the gaming side of it, as in my
opinion this is not the major intent of VB.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Section 1 of the book will focus on VB6, and section 2
will focus on using VB.NET 2005. I intend to have it ready by
August.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Dear IS
Teacher,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have recently downloaded VB.net
Express. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to know if anyone has found
or is using a book on vb.bnet with their students.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to introduce it to a
semester unit on programming, initially intended to sue VB 6, in years
9/10.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am thinking of using VB.net in IS next
year and I thought this would be a good way of getting into it. However, the
students need reference materials, and I am "sick" of always creating my own
notes....!1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
