Hover over these pictures for interesting hidden captions! New Categories: VB.NET Tutorials and Project Management

In this new category, VB.NET Tutorials, I’ll be writing articles that go over the basics of various namespaces and objects with the novice VB.NET programmer in mind. I’m trying to shoot for something more than just a listing of commands and something with a bit more clairity and less dryness than the MSDN entries. Please leave me a comment to let me know how I’m doing with this, if I should have more or less detail, better examples, simplier examples, you got it wrong, you got it right, it is useful, it’s not useful, etc. I appreciate any feedback I get from you either through comments, contact me, or the ratings stars.

I’ve also added a category for Project Management. I’m going to use it for articles that include basic project management while keeping the Development Teams category for those on personel management. Of course, those that overlap both topics will be in both.

Most Popular Posts

Here are the most popular individual posts from this week:

Advertising

Yes, the necessary evil.

I dumped the AdGridWork block after about a week because so many of the ads were for unrelated spammy sites, yuck.

As for new ads, I place ads for Vonage internet phone service on the site over this weekend. If you make a lot of long distance phone calls, particularly international ones, this can be a huge money saver for you. I recently switched to their service and I highly recommend them.

Coming Up Next Week

Next week I’m going to write a few more articles on generic collections. Some people new to VB.NET, coming over from VB6 or just new to programming, have expressed an interest in them. I may also have some more tips on Windows or Web services coming up soon.

Maybe I’ll finish up the article on Code Walk-Throughs I’ve been working on soon as well as a few other development team and project management articles.

If there is a topic that you would like for me to cover or if you have anything that I didn’t cover well enough or accurately, please leave me a comment and let me know. Check back often to see what I’m going to talk about or just subscribe to my RSS feed to have it delivered to you by a reader or email.
