Which Visual Studio is right for ME?
-
Simple question for experienced and sympathetic VB.Net developers. I'm a senior citizen and I haven't really done much Dev for a long time (15yrs) but have occasionally worked on VS12 with VB.Net. I am NOT a trained/schooled developer...mostly self taught to do enough to get by in my own work. My dev is for me only, I don't build with pro teams or any product for sale. It's just to handle MY databases and other app needs. Looking at the various VS platforms from VS17 thru VS22 I am torn on which way to go as I don't need to be overwhelmed by a steep learning curve just to connect to Access-Office 365 and import/export, manage/report data. I would appreciate general recommendation before I d/l & install something that intimidates or scares the hell out of me. I'm leaning towards VS17 but could be persuaded otherwise. Please be gentle ;P I appreciate your responses, thank you.

If you are going for Visual Studio then choose the latest version: VS 2022. The free community version is quite user friendly. Like you I am a senior citizen and my development is largely just for my own amusement. And if you are only doing VB.NET development you only need to install the .NET and VB.NET workloads.

You might want to verify the Requirements for VS 2022. Google for following. Don't worry about 'suggested', just look at minimum.
visual studio 2022 requirements
Before doing anything you might want to take a look at the docs/examples for Office 365. If you did MS Access programming in the past I suspect you are going to find that this (365) will be significantly different. But I haven't looked at it in depth.

I use Visual Studio 2010. I recommend building a library of books such as Professional Visual Studio 2010, Programming Microsoft ado.net 2.0, Microsoft's SQL server 2008 T-SQL Fundamentals. install SQL server and ssms. ask the pilot how to write the functions you need.

I'm confused, why would I go backwards if I've already been developing apps with VS 2012 that are integrated with Access (accdb) Office 365? What am I missing here?

He's just mentioning that he uses 2010. I think his main point is about developing a collection of books.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
