> the 'migrating to arcgis' workshops don't start till may 7th. i thought
they had already started because there have been similar esri sponsored free
seminars for the past two years but those were geared more for marketing
purposes...these are geared towards actually operating the software. so
sorry for the confusion.

> "teaching yourself in 21 days" is one book that was recommended for
someone beginning with vb. "teach yourself in 24 hours was NOT
recommended".

> theres always the vba book for dummies.

> "Programmer's Guide to Visual Basic" from Microsoft Press was another
suggestion
>
> someone suggested looking on amazon for beginners vb books and there are
several available on there.
>
> expect a steep learning curve and expect to spend a lot of time with
this.
once you get vb down, you can move onto arcobjects, mapobjects, etc.

> several classes were also suggsted...some at colleges and universities,
some sponsored by esri and some offered by the private sector...these vary
locally.
