I would like to steer my current career choice as a mechanical designer, employing Autodesk's Mechanical Desktop, and Inventor, with a little Solidworks thrown in, into more of a managerial position. This leap would include learning some programming language that I could customize our design software, for some simple selection programs, and other programs to make our life here a little easier. Also to pad the resume. To that end, you can tell from my username, that I am the proverbial "vb.net virgin". I have found online classes I will be taking from a local vocational school, have the hardware, but need to purchase the software. When I search so-called "software sites" looking for vb.net, I keep coming up with visual studio. I did find it at Amazon, but it's no longer available. 1) Can anyone help me with where I can find the latest version online (vb.net 2.0 ?) 2) What's the difference between studio, and .net? 3) Can you buy direct from Microsoft?
Any information you could give would be greatly appreciated. As this progresses, you will undoubtedly be seeing more questions. Thanks in advance.
