Dean;

From the number of published books on the subject of .NET, I would think there are many "experts"! However, most of the books have little or no value! So much for experts! :)

>Yes. The economy and the weak VFP job market is also forcing me to aquire other programming skill(s). I just don't know which to choose.

>But it seems strange that a lot of places that are looking for X.NET help want someone who is already an "expert". I don't know if those exist yet.

>>Hello Dean;

>>I am 61 and still love to learn new things. Recently I learned the most complex piece of music I have ever played. So age does not seem to be a limiting factor at this point of life. What helps is passion! Also the need to survive helps drive me, along with our daughter in her third year at UCLA. :)

>>Our company is deciding which flavor of .NET to use. We will use ASP.NET and perhaps C# (or Db for those with a music background!). Visual Studio .NET will be our tool.

>>I have programmed in 13 different languages and must say that there is a lot to learn with this technology. A product like Mere Mortals .NET may be a step in the right direction, besides learning about the .NET framework and the meaning of the terms used.
>>
>>Good luck.
