MS Expression Studio / V-Basic 08 Express Edition

[Starshine]

Has anyone ever used MS Expression Studio 2?
I have a chance to get this program and it looks interesting ( http://www.microsoft.com/expression/...w.aspx?key=web ) but I am pretty new to web designing ...

Also, I'd love to learn Visual Basic and have a chance to also get Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. Would this be a good program? Is there many tutorials to learn VB out there?

These are the software packages I can get. I wish I could download Win Server 08, but my computers aren't up to spec for it.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have the normal microsoft expression, not that second one,

about Visual basics, I am sure you can find something somewhere that could help you...it is a really easy program to use and you'll be able to start your first application with a couple of easy steps they have you take in the program.

It looks pretty good, if you really want to learn, then go for this program.

Okay. And the first one is nice? I've never used either, but I have a chance to get the 2nd one at least, so I was curious if it was something good to use ( or attempt )

I had a feeling there would be tutorials or walkthroughs for VB, as there is a lot for other script languages. Okay. Once I get some computer issues resolved, I'll download and get it installed and see what i can do with it.

Thank you for your response.
