I have come across a free 15 part video tutorial series for vb.net!
Word of caution for people who already know vb.net like me.  This guy likes to talk. Alot.  So if you already know about interfaces, event handling, etc etc in vb.net then this tutorial series is not for you. And I just saved you hours of your life that you would have never been able to get back. 
The tutorials are a begginer series for vb5/6 programmers who want to get into and learn vb.net programming.
Check it out ...

English is my native language, and even I wouldn't have known that "thot" is supposed to mean "thought." EACam, if I could, I would reach through this computer and slap you. |

I never would imagine that "thot" means "tought". (I'm an international user...) |

never! using "u" for you, "thot" for thought, etc. has become my habbit and I don't even want to change it cuz it's WAY faster that way. I've never even used the search, but if u want, and have the time, u might want to add something that actually searches for the "abbreviated forms" (NOT SLANG!) along with the real word. E.g.
Search input: "tutz"
ACTUAL SEARCH PERFORMED: "tutz, tut, tutorial, tutorials"
U could just make a little list of commonly abbreviated words and customize ur search engine.
And one last note, defending myself; I used "ur", and since when have people searched for "ur"? As for international readers...using those abbreviations should make it easier for them. English is really messed up, and using abbr. that actually make sense shouldn't cause any problems. E.g. "Thot" is a heck of a lot easier to read than "Thought". Someone who has so little knowledge of english as to not understand basic words should find those abbreviations easier.
Just my 2c.
EDIT: Ahh...but now I REALLY see what u mean. I used "jus" for just and "playin" for playing. Well...that's not a huge deal, but i see how it could be confusing. I must have been using IM too long that day. I'll try to keep the IM talk to a minimum. Sorry. |

It really helps communication if you spell words correctly. There are a lot of international programmers that visit this forum, so the use of slang spellings can be confusing. Another issue is that using proper spelling helps other people find information when searching. More people will search for content with the keyword "tutorial" instead of "tut" or "tutz" or however you fell like spelling the word that particular day. |
