| Do you have any programming experience such as with C++, Java, Visual Basic, etc...? If not, then the learning curve will be huge. My degree is BS in Math with emphasis in Computer Science. So I had a few programming classes in college, such as C++, Java, Assembly language, and Pascal. I decided to learn .NET last year, specifically VB.NET and C#. It wasn't that easy. I even took a .NET fundamentals class that my company paid for. Luckily my husband is a developer and helped me out along the way as I created programs. One of my programs is even in production.I'd get the products installed and start playing with them by doing examples in .NET books. If your company isn't willing to pay for the license, then you should check out the express products. Tara Kizer |

i have to agree with tara.personally i prefer c# because i'm a child of c++ and i don't like VB syntax.On the other hand VB syntax is a bit closer to T-SQL than c#.things to learn:1. objects: inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation2. classes and interfaces3. get a general overview of .net (It's huge). I'd focus on ADO.NET and data access in general. DataReaders, DataAdapters, datasets, datatables, etc.4. a bit of threading (always a good thing) especially now that you can do CLR integration in SS2k5 multithreading can wreck havoc in the DLL's (locks, waiting, etc)5. a bit of asp.net. maybe how it works etc... for example ASP.Net 1.x works differently than 2.0. 1.x is more like build the whole site, while 2.0 is more like build only one page. kind of...pricing can be found on MS site (doh....  ) but i think that VS2k5 standard edition is around $250.you can always ask ahere for pointers.. enough of us deal with it.

| "all the business logic will still be in sprocs"So now all you have to do is persuade yourself that CONVERT(varchar(24), MyDate, 113) is "Business Logic" !!Kristen |
