A primer on Google syntax.

Simple Queries:
_______________

REQUIRED:
www.google.com/search?

For one query apend q=[string value]

For two apend q=[string1]+[string2]

And likewise to expand the query.

Selective Syntax:
_________________

To require one string value apend q=%22basic%22

Example:

www.google.com/search?q=visual+%22basic%22

To exclude one string value from a query apend -[string]

Example:

www.google.com/search?q=visual+basic%22basic%22-open%20source

(Note %20 represents a space)

Inclusive Syntax:
_________________

Append +OR before any alternative string

Example:

www.google.com/search?q=visual+basic%22basic%22+OR+GNU

Wow, there are allot of dummies in the programming section......

Ever think that I have already searched at google and have not found my desired site...... I was asking for recommended link........

For you 2 dummies; FYI google is a good search engine, but they accept money from site's to put em #1......

anon'proxy' , lmao, I beat you don’t even know what a proxy is......

rofl...idwtr, that was anonproxy's and micah's very nice (which is quite uncharacteristic of them) way of saying that if you can't find an advanced VB tutorial in Google, then you don't stand a chance at learning VB in the first place. I won't bother defending them against the "dummies" remark because that would be insulting to them. Nevertheless, if you insist on getting an answer to your question, here's what I found after about 10 seconds.

FYI my friend, no one insulted or attempted to diminish you in any way. You got the #1 link on the Internet and a little information about Google, nothing more.

"Next time you ppl don’t have any advice, don't make some up!"

Everything posted was true. In fact, even even my syntax examples are all correct. Frankly, seaching Google for any topic is excellent advice.

Visual Basic is considered by many programmers to be a prototype, GUI-driven language. It is made to develop programs quickly, glossing over form and algorithmic integrity with a strong (even abusive dose) of syntactic sugar. It's greatest strength is commonly agreed to be its integration with the RAD (Rapid Application Developement) tool Visual Studio (current at .net 2003).

I suggest you buy a book that delves into full application programming with Visual Basic, including database-backends and website integration. Books are excellent for general overviews to broad subjects (on VB, there is a steady stream). Search the Internet for specifics (VB and databaseX, for example) and your results may be more satisfactory.

Ah, and just as a good deed...
