I have just started out on my journey of C# programming and everything I have found does not explain the fundamentals in the way you do in these videos.

I'm up to video #4 and for the first time I'm not sitting there reading someone else's code and understanding only 50% of it because they didn't explain what things were and what they meant.

Your tutorials are the missing link for me and I cant thank you enough!

Thank you for utilizing and retaining an incredible talent like Mr. Tabor. 

I am starting out on a new path in life (old diesel-electric submarine sailor) and have always thought programming held the key for me to attain 'professional fulfillment' in the civilian world.  However, after trying 3 different times with varying levels of lack of success, I had given up.

I am utilizing Bob Tabor's videos from Channel 9, specifically (currently) the VB intro series.  I have never been exposed to an instructor/mentor who teaches with such clarity, positive attitude and retains the ability to know what the beginner is going through and reach him at his level, such as Mr. Tabor has.

Please use him for more training material.  I think it would be a win-win-win for everybody involved.  If I had my choices (glad you asked).... Intermediate VB, SQL/T-SQL would be a great place to start.

Respectfully,

Microsoft and Bob, please keep them coming!

First off, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to explain topics the way you do. In my experience, sometimes instructors who have a lot of experience forget that some things that they understand as simple are vague and complex ideas to beginners, and I praise you for not doing the same.

I was watching your JS for Absolute Beginners tutorial; Coming from coding Java, and trying to understand some of the differences between it and JavaScript, I was hoping you could tell me what it means if I use the var keyword outside of any function. In other words, create a variable outside of any block of code like you would a global but adding the var keyword in front. How does this affect scope?

1. How to create database.
2. How to define relationship between tables.
3. How to write different-different queries. put some examples.
4. What is the difference between queries and macros.
5. How to assign macro or query to specific form.
6. How to update one table by adding data in another table continuously.
7. How to prepare reports as well as customize reports.
8. Last but not least how to connect database by using Visual Studio 2012.

Regards

Eigen.

@GigiFusc: @goody71: @fpvaltierra: @StevenB: @CodeofDuty: @Dirtbagg: @thiernich: @munikmunik: Thank you for the very nice compliments and kind words.  They are very encouraging.  I'm glad to see there are people who have benefited from what I've done.  Good luck to each of you!

@nvncbl1: re: var & scope ... check this out:

@Eigenvector: As far as I know, there's no plan in the works to hire *me* to create those series.  If you ask the right people nicely enough, I'm sure Microsoft can find a way to make that happen.  However, I have created what you're asking for (at least, to some extent) on my own website.

@friends48: I believe Channel9 uses Silverlight, not Flash.  If you are having a problem streaming the videos, you may prefer to download the video to your local computer and viewing from there.  Choose either MP4 or WMV versions.  Good luck!

@TAAdel: Hi, there's NO WPF in that series at all.  This is strictly a language series.  As of yet Microsoft has not asked me to create a WPF, ASP.NET, etc. series.  However, I do have Phone and Windows 8 Store series that utilize C#.  Click here to see the most recent series I've created for Channel9.  Channel9 (and Microsoft at large, as well as my own website) has many resources for learning the presentation layer technologies.

Here's a thread of possible alternatives:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1260572/fastest-way-to-find-the-locationzip-city-state-given-latitude-longitude

They will not be 100% compatible with the code I wrote in that series ... i.e., the web address and the parameters you pass these web services undoubtedly will be different.  I realize that's not the answer you were hoping for but unfortunately that's all I can offer.

We're re-recording that series of videos (right now I'm preparing the material) and we will not be doing that example, but instead using Bing Maps and the Flickr API to find all photos near your current location.

Your tutorials are very clears! ( type "how-to") Thank you for that, but there are too many latin people that don't understand your comments (that you said while you were coding ) .

Had you ever thought on a spanish section?

or subtitles?

or promote links to spanish tutorials?

or maybe promote in Latin Universities (with the teachers) that they will made the same tutorial in spanish?

or promote latin blogs?

The latin peope are near to 400'000,000 in the world

I make tutorials for my latin community in this youtube channel

https://www.youtube.com/user/jambrizgdl

For example: http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Store-apps-for-Absolute-Beginners-with-JavaScript/feed/mp4high

In a nut shell, subtitles are hard.  What I can (and will) do is provide the full text of the videos.  You should be able to translate those as needed.

Good luck to your YouTube effort!
