I assume I need a PC with this course? I programmed a little in VB a while back but I quit and have since moved on to using a Mac.
Maybe I could buy a cheap system just to build/run these apps... any ideas?
I could get Parallels but my HD space is running really low already... maybe I should just get an external HD...
I would recommend VM W@R3. It will enable you to run a windows OS within a virtual session and you will be able to run your applications through a virtual network adapter so they can get to work for you.
You can find pre built sessions around the net utilizing various OS's.
Cheers
