Hi all

I was wondering if anyone knows of any programming (VB) courses available in Kempton Park..

Also not sure exactly which course - I basically would like to learn to design and develop small to medium sized "Database related" software programs. EG, create the backend database in SQL / Access / MYsql - and then link it to perhaps Visual Studio (VB) or perhaps there is another alternative I should be looking at?

eg (A program / database for keeping records of Clients, products, sales, invoicing, employee details etc)

I have worked with MsAccess databases a while now, and am doing quite well in it, but would like to advance a bit...

Any advice, guidance or info would be greatly appreciated
 
Best would be to do online tutorials. You've probably heard it a gazillion times before, but it's true. Start with the tutorials and see if it piques your interest before investing money in formal education.
 
Thank you. Would SQL / Access / VB-Visual Studio be the right place to begin for what I explained"?
 
At the very least, try and work through tutorials on the following:
  • SQL. Since you're comfortable with Access, try and move on to Microsoft SQL Server. For relatively uncomplicated database structures, you should be able to find your way around it quite easily. Download a copy of Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition (it's free).
  • VB.NET. You indicated using VB, so look into VB.NET. If you're learning development with no prior knowledge of any specific language, look into C# rather. The class libraries for C# and VB.NET are the same, only the syntax differs.
  • Visual Studio. Whether you use VB.NET or C#, your IDE (Integrated Development Environment) would still be the same - Visual Studio. It's in essence a glorified text editor (think Notepad on 100 different kinds of steroids) with WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors for the application's forms. You can also download Visual C# Express Edition for free.

When you have all those tools downloaded and installed, start working through some basic tutorials to build a database and form and hooking them up to work together.
