The different object types, how they are created/destroyed, and how they are referenced, etc. could make for a good tutorial topic. I know a good number of smart folks that get hung up on 'As Object' vs. 'As New Object,' so methinks this could be useful for many.
A tutorial that shows how to grab and process files by regular expressions rather than the old DOS 8.3 filters/attribute masks could be interesting. Don't know if that's beyond scope for a tutorial, but it would show how to use the RegExp object for something nontrivial, and even end up with a potentially useful utility.
Another interesting idea would be a tutorial on how to make an honest console mode VB application. It requires a few things that I haven't looked into in years, but it can be done. I remember that it involves editing the compiled executable, you have to start from a module, and the reading and writing from the console is handled by several API calls. Once upon a long time ago, I was writing a console class module to wrap these all up. I'll see if I still have the code, and if it still works. If so, I may write that one.
Just a couple ideas there.
(ed.: Found the class, but not the info on converting the app over. It does still work on 2000, but I haven't tested it on XP or Vista.)
