Section 2.0

The notes for this section are in: firstprogram.doc

They tell you how to run vb.net, and how to create a simple program.

To install, or not to install at home?

If you always have broadband access at home - or you use wifi on a laptop in SHU, then you can connect to shu and use vb without installing it.

If not, then you need to install vb.net (also called vb 2005 express edition).

The install is not trivial.

You can download it from Microsoft, or get a disc from shu.
