&lt;P&gt;Because the documentation in the &lt;A href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx" mce_href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx"&gt;MSDN Library&lt;/A&gt; is now getting updated on a&amp;nbsp;regular (usually monthly) basis, we plan to produce more videos and link to them from our documentation. If you have suggestions for videos&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;comments about the format, please let me know!

If you're new to Visual Basic, you'll want to take a look at these videos. The videos are from the &lt;A title=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a08t4ke7.aspx href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a08t4ke7.aspx"&gt;Creating Your First Visual Basic Program&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;section of the Visual Basic Guided Tour in the Visual Basic Express Edition documentation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I've posted the videos on the &lt;A href="http://blogs.msdn.com/vbteam/archive/2006/09/13/752639.aspx"&gt;Visual Basic Team blog&lt;/A&gt;. There are more in the making, and I'll be sure to cross-post them here.&lt;/P&gt;
