My last project involved using Visual Basic 2005.  This is the latest version of VB.NET.  I have used Visual Basic before starting with version 4.0.  In fact I got certified a long time ago, November 2001 to be exact, as a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) by passing the exam Designing and Implementing Desktop Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.  Now that I am using VB 2005, it’s time for me to master this technology and hopefully get back on track with my certification.  I recently bought a book titled Professional VB 2005 by various authors and I will be reading this book to help me with my journey and of course this blog will serve as my notes pad.  So here we go!
