As someone who's also learning Japanese, those links sure are going to keep me busy. But I'll add to the pile as well.

For an excellent (and affordable) introduction to both the Japanese language and Japan itself, check out Human Japanese

In Topic: A Case for Option Strict

Posted 10 Feb 2012
It's not doing what you think it's doing.

By default, VB.Net will do best-guess conversions unless Option Scrict is turned on. Looking at it again...
```
If someProp Is Nothing OrElse String.IsNullOrEmpty(someProp.Value OrElse someProp.Value = "0") Then 
```
As CodeGrappler said, there's a misplacement of parentheses, which is causing some conversions which should never be allowed.
- someProp.Value is converted to bool for use by OrElse
- The result of the OrElse operation is then converted back to string for the IsNullOrEmpty check
So the if statement will always resolve to false since it only tests against the strings "True" or "False".
