    Dear all,

    I'm writing you because I need your advices in completing a college final Project.
    I explain the situation first: I was studying the computer programming course around 9 years ago. Then it happened that I got pregnant, so I stopped. Now I would like to finish the project, but I'm not up-to-date about programming. I have a little experience of Visual basic and some html. For this reason, I wanted to ask you which one of the following topic/area are of easy development, that requires less effort but it embraces what the project requires. They asked me to develop an application, following the areas:

    - Classic Program Project
    - Database development Project
    - Database +front end
    - Client – server applications
    - Customizations of packages
    - System-Management Appliactions
    - Web-based solutions

    Links to tutorials, e-guides or e-books and everything that you can suggest me are very welcome.
    Thanks in advance.

    The world has moved on a lot in 9 years. Visual Basic is now only of use for Windows Forms applications and maybe ASP.NET Web Forms. Anyone that was using VB has migrated to other solutions, mostly C# if they were sticking with the Windows platform.

    A good starting point would be the Visual Studio Documentation and the Microsoft Virtual Academy. There is something in the tutorials for people of all levels.

    Pluralsight, though not free would have some very good videos courses on most languages. C# would be a good start though

    Personally, I would go for

    Database development Project ( Perl, PHP, Python)
    Database +front end (HTML PHP & MySQL)

    https://www.w3schools.com/
    http://www.diveintopython3.net/

    Try https://teamtreehouse.com. I just completed their php track, show how to build a music, DVD libary . You have pay but it is worth it
