I AM LEARNING VB.NET!!!

[AceInfinity]

You must have the following personalities if you want to get anywhere in VB.NET:

• Know What To Do
  
• Create Unique Code
  
• Create Unique Interfaces
  
• Be Creative
  
• Surpass Available Boundaries
  
• Practice, Use YouTube Tutorials such as http://www.youtube.com/environmentalnerd53 and http://www.HowToStartProgramming.com or http://www.youtube.com/TechMeComputer
  
• Last but not least, improve your dieas and don't abandon any projects, you can add features ot them and fix them eventually.
  

Thats some good advice, but I think your last point is far too important to go at the bottom of that list

For these 2 points though, I'd have to say that I disagree.

[*]Know What To Do
[*]Create Unique Interfaces

You don't need to know what to do to start a project, in fact, if you go into making a project without knowing exactly what you're doing, it will challenge you to figure out how you are going to make something function within the code.

If by "Interfaces," you mean graphic interfaces, then that wouldn't be needed either to be successful. You could create one of the best programs out there, and not have a good interface, but it will still be good. The interface is just a bonus, but that would be one of the later things he could work on in my opinion.

For now, he should just focus on how to code things, and have a general idea on how to add an icon in the project settings and other things that are basic such as adding a title for the program. Lots of people that i've seen forget to add a title for the program and an icon, so it ends up as those colored squares, and Form 1 at the top.
