I recently purchased VB.Net 2003 and a tutorial for learning it. I'm about 10 chapters in, and I've done what are probably the "introductory" beginners programs like "hello, World!" and "Lucky Seven".

I know this is probably premature, but what "types" of programming can .Net do? What I mean is, can I do a program that will store data (names, events, etc)? I know that I'm getting WAY ahead of myself but I wanted to know in what direction .Net will take me.

Sorry I'm being so vague, but I know so little about any kind of programming that I don't know if I'm even asking the right kind of questions.

Thanks for your patience.

Don
