	Jeff's too modest. His book is a good place to start. If you want to start creating e-Learning content using a page scripting language then you have a huge amount of work to do. Jeff's book doesn't have the solutions to all these things but it does solve some of the initial time wasting challenges and point you in a sensible direction. So, to sum up, Jeff's book may not be all you need but it will get you started and, unlike the Java route, you can always hassle Platte for help.

	I have before me Jeff's VBTrain.Net book and have been making my way slowly through it. I like the book because it cuts straight to how professional developers of training can use VB.NET. Being well-versed in the ToolBook model of development, it is nice to be shown the similarities and differences. I can see how VB.NET can be used for training.

	You have a great, relaxed writing style.

	I just wanted to give you my gratitude. Your code worked awesome and has saved my butt big time. 1) I had a deadline relying on this code today. 2) My vacation would have been cancelled without getting this running. You rock!
