I am in need of an outline on teaching VB6/VBA to some co-workers. The material I am pretty confident I can fill in, just need a sense of how to order the class material. Its not going to be hard core programming [nix the VB6 jokes please :) ] but do want to touch the basics. Any free outlines or even entire presentations out there that I can use? I've been looking but nothing concrete so far.
thanks
If you mean VBA say VBA, not VB6. They differ a great deal based on the object models available, and the actual language syntax is a fairly simple thing to pick up.
Just look for some Dummies, O'Reilly, etc. books to use as a teaching guide. Maybe even go with self-study making yourself available for questions and general help, and to prod them along.
Well I went to the public library and found a book called "Visual Basic In Easy Steps". that seems to have a good outline and it covers VB6 and VBA. Straight and simple.

Do you think that its a good practice to learn Objective-C as a first language/library, or should I just jump back a little and start learning in another C type language?
I've been self-learning Objective-C for about 4 months now. I absolutely love it, my friends and family also support it as well.
So, what do people here think about Objective-C as a first language to learn? Is it worth it to continue with my work with Objective-C?
I think Objective-C can be a fine first language, particularly if you're interested in doing Mobile programming. I wouldn't necessarily recommend switching to learn a different language, but if you really want to learn how to program I would recommend learning as many languages as you are comfortable learning. Many different languages have different ways of thinking about problems, different benefits, and different cultures, and exposing yourself to the different ways of doing things in other languages will make you better in whatever language you end up in long term.

Is there some kind of obvious database should I use for a Bulletin Board if I wanted to code one? I think I know how to code the rest of it, I know the imperative code to handle the logic, but I don't really know much about databases yet. This I can learn of course, I'm just wondering if there is something obvious I should know in the beginning, or an obvious place to start learning, besides sql 101. Also, please don't suggest reading the code of an open source project. I know that option is there. It's hard to decipher code in a language you don't understand really well.
You can check out this place they've got tons of database sample you can use to jumpstart a project http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/

I have to draw a class diagram using a existing source code in Java.
I downloaded Ajilej a eclips pulgin to do that , but i couldn't find the how to draw a class diagram using existing source code.
Suggest me different tools to generate class diagram from existing source code.
I was using altova but free days are finished, so i need a new tool to do my Job
I am not sure if this is the tool that you played with but it seemed to be the most high level UML modeling tool for Java I found that was Freeware/Open source.
http://argouml.tigris.org/
This is a really good pay tool that I have used in the past but I loved using it.
http://www.altova.com/umodel.html
A lot of people HATE uModel and I admit the learning curve is a bit steep and the user interface is a little screwy, but once you learn how to use it you will find it VERY useful.
You can try this 30 days evaluation tool : http://www.uml2.org/eclipse-java-galileo-SR2-win32_eclipseUML2.2_package_may2010.zip
Just unzip and it will work. If you change the date of your system when you launch the tool then you can use it for as many years as you want :-)
Good luck for your project and enjoy !!

I would like to know if there are any tutorial websites for learning PyObjC apart from the home page of the project itself. I'm enthusiastic about being able to use python to develop native code and be productive without learning how to program in some of the other more traditional compiled languages. Anywhere I could get a screencast or good beginner tuts would be excellent.
You could start with Will Larson's stuff. You could read the Apple docs and do the temperature conversion thingie. You could do what I did and get Hillegass's book and then do the examples using PyObjC. You could read my stuff. I have lots of simple examples, but I'm just an amateur. You don't need to worry about Objective-C yet, but if you stick with it, you probably will.
And you really must learn that case matters.

I need to implement a Diff algorithm in VB.NET to find the changes between two different versions of a piece of text. I've had a scout around the web and have found a couple of different algorithms.
Does anybody here know of a 'best' algorithm that I could implement?
Well I've used the c# version on codeproject and its really good for what I wanted...
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/diffengine.aspx
You can probably get this translated into VB.net via an online converter if you can't do it yourself...
I like An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations by Eugene Myers. I believe it's the algorithm that was used in GNU diff. For a good background see Wikipedia.
This is quite theoretical and you might wish to find source code, but I'm not aware of any in VB.
I don't know for sure if it's the best diff algorithms but you might want to check out those links that talks about SOCT4 and SOCT6
