Movie Collection Starter Kit

A starter kit is a template or model program you can use to learn new tools and programming techniques and to easily build a working program. Starter kits are like samples, but with better documentation and with clear ideas for extending the application to add new features. One great starter kit for either the Visual Basic or Visual C# Express editions is the Movie Collection Starter Kit. This is a sample application you can customize and build to help you organize your movie collection and look up information online. With the built program you can search online for information about your movies using Amazon.com Web services, and you can save descriptive information in a SQL database. The kit includes a tutorial and all the code in the kit is fully commented to help you understand the technologies used in this Windows Form application. With this starter kit you can learn about calling XML Web services, databinding, application settings, local data storage using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, and more.
