Hello All,
I'm new to the computer world in the sense that I have a new interrest in programming and developing. I was asked a few questions by someone I was chatting with on a website , who's name I wont mention, but it involves avatars; I was sooo lost. Upon conversating further I found I don't even know the basics. So I began a search for a forum that I hope will assist me in becoming an expert, if not just an intermidiate. LOL -- Hence the reason I am here now.
I was asked about MSSQL and Access? I don't know????
Is this where I need to start or is there a computer basics for dummies.
I am 37 years old and feel like this is something I should alreay know given the fact that I have been using a computer for over 15 years. I have also worked for a company where my responsibilty was software support. Needless to say, I no longer work there.
SO anyhow, if there is anyone out there willing to teach and mentor this computer challenged individual, please let me know.

You have a lot to learn. Go pick up a few books out there and learn a new subject. Since you mentioned access and sql server you are referencing Microsoft technologies.. go check out a few books on .NET (pronounced dot net) - you may want to start off with Visual Basic.NET and then transition to C# ... Make sure to get beginner books so they describe the concepts behind the tools!
