[Year 12 SofDev] VB extension

planet-source-code.com has heaps of different VB6 projects, amongst others. You could demo an app then give a few hints as to a solution, having looked at the source code. Or give the student a project and ask for an adapted version to suit a different design spec- a bit like some real world coding!

Alternatively you could throw them in the deep end and extend them in a different language ie php or java. it's pretty easy to set up a *AMP server or java. A good start might be to replicate their VB work... sounds like it could be fun

As the book is the backbone of my VB teaching in year 12 and about the limit of my VB ability, I need some help in pointing me to some advanced VB resources to keep him occupied and to further enhance his programming skills. I've looked in the school library but we have nothing.
