I was pretty much into computer programming during the 80s. I have a radio shack's PC-2 computer. I had en interface and printer. It wore out and couldn't get it fixed because radio shack does not make parts for it any more. I want to get back into programming. Using the windows-XP. Where do I get the software and the book. And how much it cost? The reason I want the book is because it teaches from the beginning. The manuel that comes with the software teaches from lower level to current level. For instense visual baics-4 goes from vb-3.

    If you want to do VB, download (for free) the new Microsoft Visual Basis 2005 Express Edition. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vb/ I am not a VB programmer, so I cannot recommend a good intro or tutorial book, but I am sure there are some out there.

    This is a partial answer. Don't bother starting with "VB4" the latest "VB.net" is very different. Get a "Visual Basic.NET in record time" or "Vb.net for Dummies" Type book. They start from the very basics and work all the way up to... not so basic, but definitely not advanced. Hope this helps.
