I loved this VB6/VB.NET article (by yag)
25 February 05 12:14 PM
Although it was written as a response to an article by Richard Grimes , I like this blog entry because of how it describes the movement and *feeling* of going from VB6 to VB.NET. Scott captures it really well - probably because he's working in both at Read More...
