Well, I search and I search, but I just can't find many Aussies out there.
I am not a teenage VB programmer... more like a late 20's one, but all the same I like to read about other learners advice and problems so I may be able to fix mine.
I have just decided to take the big jump and look at a carrer change. I am an Environmental Chemist and with Australia being so environmentally aware (choke) there are not that many jobs around.... and if there are, they pay like crap. I am teaching myself VB with about 50 billion books. The courses were too expensive and seemed a complete rip off so I am giving it a go by myself.
Other people out there who are teaching themselves... keep at it and all will fall into place one day!
