Q:
Where do I start
I am at square one in learning programming. Currently taking a QB4.5 course and want to continue with visual basic. I am getting conflicting information about where to start. Some say VB2005 others say VB2008 and every version between gets a vote from someone. I don't want to waste time learning a version that will be next to worthless as I evolve to higher versions yet I want to be able to grasp the concepts. Which version should I start with?

If you are really just starting out, it makes sense to start with the newest technology...true of any tech area - not just VB. But when you play in the Microsoft world, it is ESPECIALLY important. Unlike the IBM i world, where your knowledge is fairly cumulative, Microsoft simply abandons older technology. VB, Office, Vista are just a few examples. This is a shame for both professionals AND companies that invest time & money learning and applying a technology and then being told "sorry, start over. We now have a better idea".
