Learn Programming VB 2005 Forms - QA

[Jesse Liberty]

This is a 1-time notice that I hope will be of interest

I'm creating a Computer-Based Training course on Building Windows Forms
Applications using Visual Basic 2005.
I need one or two volunteers who have a lot of time this week. You'll
really need to work on this nearly full time (at least 4 hours per day).

Here's what you get: Access to a good part of what will be a very expensive
complete course on Creating Windows applications with VB 2005 and
recognition in the Introduction for your help. (No financial compensation)

Here's what you would have to do:

1. Sign a strict NDA

2. Watch the course in detail and check for:
Areas that are out of sequence (using a technique not yet taught)
Areas where my notes on what to cut have the wrong timing
Areas you find confusing or ill explained
Gross errors

3. Get feedback to me immediately - time is very short.

The target audience is primarily VB6 programmers who want to transition to
VB 2005, though the course may be of interest to novice programmers and/or
VB1.x programmers.

The outline of the course is confidential, but I'll say that my plan would
be to start you in the middle, skipping over the fundamentals of the
language and starting right away with building applications.

You probably won't have time to work through the examples, but you should
get quite a bit out of watching them built in front of you. If you decide
to take the time to try some examples, you'll need Visual Studio 2005
Professional (or better)

If you are interested, please reply to me privately at
(e-mail address removed) and if you want to know more about me, please

Do you realize how many books are out there on this topic? Also, most of us
don't work for free!

I'm sure you would be equally interested in coming to work for free at our
places of employment.

Of course not, most of us can not and do not work for free. No one suggested
*you* should; I simply offered that someone might get enough value out if it
that actual pay would not be needed, and guess what? You didn't want to and
someone else did. Isn't that great?

So why do you sound so upset by it?

When I was starting out, I certainly was interested in working for free as a
way to learn. I do apologize if I somehow insulted you.

Jesse,

I hope you got my email because I really want to participate.
