I have been working almost exclusively in FoxPro for the past 7 years, and almost exclusively in xBase languages in general since the late 1980s. I think Visual FoxPro is the best thing since chocolate covered espresso beans. However, most of my office is jumping on the Visual Basic bandwagon, and I don't want to be left in the dust. Right now I have a passing aquaintance with it, but I haven't really worked intensely with it. I can understand most of the syntax, but I still have a little trouble wrapping my brain around the OLE/ActiveX/COM paradigm, and am all but ignorant when it comes to RDO, ADO, ODBC, OCX, VCX, and all of those other wonderful acronym technologies.

Is there a book, CD, or course on the market that is geared toward teaching longtime Foxheads how to use Visual Basic? I find myself looking at VB books and mentally comparing the commands with VFP, and in some places thinking of how VFP would implement a particular solution differently. I am serious about becoming programmatically multilingual, and short of a total VB immersion class, a VFP-to-VB comparison would be ideal.
