Thanks for the offer, it is actually VB as in Visual Basic not VBulletin

Not sure exactly when it will be yet but they asked me in for a second interview.

Hoping for the best...really want this job!

Thank you all for the support and ideas.

Congrats.

Speaking of VB. I'm a near expert in VB 3.0. I'm sure it hasn't changed much when they went to 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and then VB.NET....

Congrats! I hope the company is a good one and you love your job!

Nope LOL, in my small community this is probably my only opportunity to do programing for a company. No haggling here, the 33,280 salary offer for my entry level position is sufficient for me, won't let the opportunity pass.

Tell him 33,5 or you walk.

Congratulations! The company I've been working for was bought out in June and the new owners are taking the assets and shutting it down, laying off 800+ people. Everyone was told to get their resumes prepared. I applied for an opportunity and interviewed Friday. The last guy said flat out "I want to hire you".

I have to pass a bunch of background checks before I start so I decided to keep working in the other position awhile longer but, once I told them I'd accepted the new position, they cut me loose so now I have a couple of unpaid weeks to kill while the transition begins.

Rejoice that you have a job because you never know what's going to change with this crazy economy.

The syntax from what I remember is very similar, but VB.NET added hooks to much of the .NET architecture that is prevalent throughout microsoft's web page structure as well as hooks into silverlight and office/windows tools.

If Rick is familliar enough with C#.net, he shouldn't have any issues with VB.NET once he has VB down.

Rick,

Congrats on the interview. One of the things I like to use when I'm interviewed for a new position in a company that uses a language I'm not familiar with is, something along the lines of,

"I am confident enough in my understanding of computer programming and language structure that I can pick up any computer language in 6 weeks"

That being said, if you feel like you need some VB practice, there are plenty of examples out there on the web, and I'm sure you are familiar with technet.com as a reference.

Rick, PM me if you need any help programming. I have a Commodore 64.

First day was today, loved it

Sat down, they gave me some projects to work on and away it went!

My new job starts Wednesday. It'll be a combination of relief and anxiety.

Good luck
