I've always wanted to learn how to program (yes-I know this is odd since I run eBay's Developers Program).  Unfortunately, I haven't programmed anything since BASIC in the 8th grade.

So it is with great joy that I purchased The Complete Idiot's Guide to Visual Basic.NET  and installed VB.NET on my home machine.  I will use my weblog to chronicle my adventures (in case anyone really cares).
