About a week ago I went to the local library and got myself four books.

  • C# in 24 Hours
  • ADO.NET in 24 Hours
  • ASP.NET in 24 Hours
  • Java in 10 Minutes

I have focused on C#, but when I came to the database access part, I had trouble understanding it, because I am use to ADO, which differs quite a lot from ADO.NET in my opinion. So I got my ADO.NET book and started reading.
I think I kind of understand what it is all about (I must say it is a good book), but I haven't made any samples yet, and I do need the exercise.
Anyway, when I'm am done with reading through those books, I think I'll be learning ASP.NET, and use C# and ADO.NET in it. I want to redesign my website using it, and I am thinking about paying for some webhosting (as the free ones all have limitations...)
Anyway, I also got the Java one (very small book - hence the 10 minutes ;)), to ease my mind of all the .NET that is coming to me. I'll need it in the coming years, as that is what they teach in university, so I though I better get to know it already.

I updated my website today. I added a whole bunch of new (read: old :p) graphics and I added a bunch of downloads too. I had them lying around, but never gotten to uploading them.
Mark (markblue777) pointed out my site was kind of empty, and I must say, he did have a point *shame*
So, I uploaded some of the things I had lying around, and I'm quite happy with the result.
It was done rather quickly thanks to my design (I'm glad I did it this way). I'll probably try to do the same when I redesign it in .NET.
