Oh no! Not another Dani! What's this world coming to! Anywho, glad to have you and the new members aboard. I hope you like it here. Have fun and watnot.

Hi, I'm testjack.....I would like to learn to program in Visual Basic and I guess I need to learn a little basic 1st. I am just floundering on where to start. Any suggestions on a good book to start with? Something simple like maybe a for Dummies type of text?

I hope I am in the right place for this.

Hi cscgal
Do you know of any place on the net I might find info on programming clubs or groups in my area?

testjack, it's better if you create a new thread in the appropriate forum if you want to get more responses. This is an introduction thread after all.

Well... here I am. Great forums! I am a member of a few and this one has a good feel to it.

I am just picking up ASP.net/VB.net I have created a few asp 3.0 sites, but am always looking for anew challenge, so .net it is.

I will help out those I can. I have background in CSS, ASP, PHP(very little), SQL, DB Design, and good old html.

Looking forward to chating with you all,

JasonRCS

Hi everyone. My name is Tim Cummings. I'm currently getting my Bachelors degree in Information Systems Security. This site is so full of information that it's intoxicating. I hope that I can gain a lot of knowledge from all of these smart people that contribute here as well as share some of my own knowledge with others. This is an impressive site to be sure. My main areas of expertise are in Windows OS's, but I really like Linux a lot. I'm just not as experienced with what's under the hood (so to speak) with Linux, but I'm learning.

Hey there Jason and Tim! Tim, thanks so much again for your generous donation to DaniWeb.

You're very welcome Dani! It's the least I could do for such a great site.

Welcome everyone! Hope you enjoy your stay here and remember there are no dumb questions.

Well, I'll throw my introduction up here... I'm hardly a lurker... I found the site a few days ago, looking for a decent Ada Forum. (Finally went to Usenet for that.) I joined, and have been putting my two cents in wherever I felt it was appropriate.

You'll notice in my signature a reference to Uncreative Labs, that's a website that I'm developing with 5 other people. We ran in to some hosting problems and were down about 6 months, so there's a lot of faithful people that don't know we're back. I'm hoping to find some of our "lost sheep" here and there... The site is about old "classic" computers, as well as helping out with new. We hope to keep the site free of annoying graphics and provide information presented in a easily read form. So far, we're succeeding.
