Proper sequence of selftraining ?

[andy.v]

dear friends !

i need your advice.

i am an it person designing databases pretty successfully (believe so). i use sql server (engine) + ms access (frontend) combination. i do really want to try the combination sql server + visual studio (vb, c++, c#) to train myself.

but i do not understand what start with :

the environment (visual studio solution structure etc.),
the language itself (vb, c++, c#),
.net library or
something else ?

please advice !

thank you in advance !

If you can design databases, you are ahead of a lot of developers as it is.

If you are a professional or considering a profession in software development, you should know one of the .Net languages (either vb net or C#).

I come from the visual basic world (pre .Net), so my preference is vb net. But there seems to be more code written (at least in my experience) with c#.
