2 QUestions - Please Help!

Hi there,

I have been programming vb for almost a year now, I am comfortable with all of the intrinsic controls.
I have done some winsock programming (Wrote a chat server and client), ADO and DAO, simple API etc. During the year I have undertaken various projects.

I have just started to try to get to grips with class's and Components - Activex.dll and exe's.

Question 1)

I am hoping to get a job as a junior vb developer and I was just wondering if anyone who had done the same could give me an idea of what to expect in terms of workload, and required knowledge.

Am I way short of the mark?

Question 2)

Do most vb applications in the real wolrd use Components a lot? or is thet more in the realm of C++.

I think you should be Fine For a First Job, most places like to train you up anyway. In the Real World Components are used a hellof a lot, If you've got the hang of them then You stand in good stead

[Dougz999]

So most Applications a broken up into components?

Do you know where is the best place to go or what to do to get a greater idea of how they are used?

I think the Best Way is to Get a Job, I got My First Programming Job with no Experience whatsoever, You Can't really Learn How objects are used properly from a book, you've got to see it for yourself, There are a few good books out there, I can't remember any Titles off Hand, something like "Doing objects in VB" or "An Introduction To VB Objects" Anything with a title like that will give you a good background knowledge, but If you see some big projects put together that's the way to learn.
