I'd downloaded Microsoft's Visual Studio Express, and walked my way through many of their tutorials, as well as had some help by beginning to thumb through Microsoft: Visual C# 2008 by John Sharp for other exercises.
Sadly, I'm disastrously out of practice and will likely start all over due to not sticking to it, but I found both of those sources to be very good at getting me up and running with the language, and how to use the Visual Studio Express software to manage and create my programs.
I had not gotten into even reading about the Autocad API though.
I'm relatively dense when it comes to LSP, and at best can be called a 'hack' who is capable of taking the genius of others, tweaking and hammering it into a crude tool that can be applied to my situations. And copy / pasting chunks and trying to link them, heh.
So with my meager experience in programming, I found these two methods were still quite sufficient in getting me going... now just to get BACK into it...
