>>>>>>Congrats for what? I am very disappointed right now because I had to delay the class again, and it doesn't start again until January. My internet connection kept crashing this afternoon and I quickly fell far behind. Without knowing how long the connectivity issues might continue, I made the difficult decision to bail out for now and try again in January. I am trying to keep my chin up, since this was not something I could control, but it's tough.

>>>>Yes, SetFocus. I have learned quite a bit of C# on my own. There are other parts of the course I know little about, such as ASP.NET and ADO.NET. It is a .NET class, not just a C# class. They have two versions of the class, one using C# and the other using Visual FoxPro. Kidding! -- the other is VB.NET, of course.

>>>Hey Mike, how's your SQL Server experience? It might benefit you to self-learn SQL Server as it might make it easier to learn ADO.NET. ASP.NET is a beast unto itself. I would wait until you feel comfortable with C# and the Framework itself before you jump into that.
>>
>>Quite a bit of experience with SQL Server. No choice about ASP.NET -- it's part of the curriculum. This class is going to be like drinking water from a fire hose.

I am giving it another try. I REALLY do not want to wait another two months, without income. Hoping yesterday was just an unlucky day with the connection.
