In the past week, I’ve covered how to get started and pointed you to a solid beginner development tool (Visual Basic Express), covered how to get some free artwork, as well as how to license your creations. If all this has you ready to move forward with trying your hand at development, but you want to see some samples, then download 101 Samples for Visual Basic 2005.

This collection of sample applications has everything you need to get a kick-start, including examples for:

• Core language.
• Data access.
• Office tool integration.
• Creating user forms.

After you download and look at these samples, you should be ready to go.
