[DUG] Conversion training

[Jeremy Coulter]

I would agree. Don't do VB.net, move to C#. We do Delphi and C# and we
basically learnt C# on the job writing code for a specific project making
use of the plenty of good stuff on the net about how to do "stuff" in C#.
The transition from Delphi to C# is quite straight forward if not similar
(funnily enough). Once we learnt what we thought was enough we attended a
C# course to see what we did wrong :-)
