Their "special" rate of $99 has been in place for over 2 years, they just 
change the date on the homepage.  I've been a member there for two years; 
remember to cancel if you don't want them to auto-renew you.  :)

It's not a bad deal, I use it more as a reference than sitting down and 
watching a series from beginning to end.  If you're just getting started in 
.NET I recommend learning C#.   VB.Net was an easier transition for me from 
VFP, and the companies I worked for were VB.Net shops (one slowly changed to 
C#).  After doing VB.Net for 5 years and am moving to C# too as it seems to be 
more widely used.  Just take a look at the online job listings...

Actually I got about 1/2 way through a  really good C# book before the day-job 
job busy and I started working on an outside web project.  Check out "Head 
First C#" from O'Reilly.   It is not your fathers' textbook as they take a 
little different approach to learning, but it might be look.  As always, YMMV.

Subject: RE: Started learning C# today

I shook hands with my husband last night and promised that by September 1st, I 
too would start learning C#.  

I just checked out LearnDevNow.com and the special they are running at the 
moment looks very good.  $99 for annual subscription instead of $349...  I 
might just subscribe.  I've already been to http://tinyurl.com/ch768jr and 
downloaded some manuals but they've been sitting on the hard drive untouched 
now for ages...  

Will be interested in how your fair Mike with the skills transfer - I think 
that's what is holding me up from making the shift - I don't like the idea of 
knowing what I "want" to do in code, but having to re-learn "how" to do it.

Keep me posted :-)
