  Shak,

  I've seen you here working so hard and I've wanted to complment you so often.

  I think there is too much for one person to know. I'm always glad when I get a question that gives me a chance to learn. You've do a really good job.

  Btw, everyone here is not a guy.

  Hi Shak..... I made at least Three or Four Posts stating the same thing as your Post and still feel the same Way.... I am not Bored but Overwhelmed.... Cgraus a consoment Pro said something that gave me an array of Hope... He said "you will never learn it all and that he stopped trying several versions Ago to learn it all" or something like that.... Maybe You are ready to follow your own path and not build a universal knowledge base in your Brain.... Cheers

  shakalama, you are doing great.

  There's a ton of stuff in .NET that I don't know exists (I  F1!). The key is knowing how to learn, andto extrapolate. Do not remember (memorize), learn how to learn.

  I recall in Electronics, there are really only two equations to remember - all the others can be derived form those two (of course, you need to know how to derive). It's the same thing - don't try to remember everything, you know the basics; just extrapolate to everything else.

  For example, we know that a form has a Paint event - we can extrapolate that each control also has a paint event: 'knowing' that one item does something, we now 'derive' that 3000 items do the same thing (with the same number of parameters!). That's like knowing about 3000 things for spending the time to learn one thing! But you truly need to understand that one thing; what exactly it's doing - and that will take time. Don't sweat it - let the time it takes come and go.

  Programming has come a long way from the few basic commands of, well, BASIC ('wouldn't it be great if we could do this...'). But the principles of programming have not changed (and with the .NET framework we can apply those principles in any language we choose!).

  A master of an art is not someone with a good memory. A master will not blame his tools. A master can comfortably say 'I don't know'.

  You cannot know everything about programming. Nobody can. And it's less about reading, but more about doing. One can know each and every control in the .NET framework, but still have no clue of how to write an app. Experience comes over time. I kept myself motivated by doing my own projects, and this has been the way from some primitive programs on the ATARI ST 15 years ago (has it been that long already) up until today. The worst thing you can do is to read tons of documentation - that will stall your brain and is hardly useful - you're not trying to become a doctor and need to now all about the guts, no pun intended. Try coding a little tool which you might find useful or just does something funny, either way. While trying to get the job/thing done you'll encounter the technology you need and get a feeling for it. Sometimes you might touch areas which are really complex (like socket programming for instance). Then you have the choice to either dive deep into the fundamentals or just bypass it. Good luck and all the best, and if there are questions you know where to go...

  To learn... write a moderate sized project in the area you want to learn about.

  There are subtleties to sexism and we live in a sexist culture.

  Making "Guys" include men and women, rather makes women invisible as men have done historically. As test, to see if it's symetrical, consider saying, "Hi Gals" to everyone here and see how that goes over.

  I take it that you are not "Euro". I acknowledge you and your cultural distinctiveness. Highly aware women, appreciate the acknowledgement of our distinctiveness.

  G'day Shakalama.

  Listen mate, just take a little time out and then see how you feel. You started learning this stuff about the same time as me, and its obvious that you have a better understanding of VB2005 than I have, judging by your responses. I've seen your solutions to some of the problems submitted, and I couldn't have come up with those answers.

  Maybe if you do like Renee suggests, pick a project that really intrests you and concentrate on that.

  I know what you mean about it being a bit overwhelming. I've found it so. I tried to rush through some of the learning material in order to get to the bits that I felt were more worthwhile. Doesn't work. I ended up starting again from scratch, and going over each chapter and example until I could write something similar and understand what I'm doing.

  But again, judging from some of your responses you have a real gift for this programming lark so don't give up. Take a few days off, and think of something that you really want to do.

  As you have already stated, you can not learn everything, so just try to ensure that what you learn, you learn well.

  All the best mate.

  Hi Bushranger,

  Yes, I used to write an encryption/decyption program to learn the rudiments of a language.

  I'd be ashamed to show my first DOT NET project... but I learned a lot. It was a taskmanager.

  Then there as the second. It wasn't beautiful....but I use it 100s of times a day. It re-implements the functionality of the old Office toolbar with the ToolstripToolbar and does 32 bit color. It, and the new controls are georgeous. I did the Taskmanager in VBE, and downloaded Beta-II and started the toolbar. In the middle of it, I received RC1.

  That as a couple of month project.

  The a Webservice/database/Aspx project and Finally I'm doing database project.

  I'm in the middle of it now and I'd do it differently than I did.

  I think the point we're trying to make Shak, is that DOING is such a golen way to learn and I've seen you working hard here.

  I think you deserve some acknowledgement for all your great work!!!!
