Tutorial or book recommendations please

Dear Group,
I've searched the newsgroup for the last few days and can't seem to find
a thread regarding the best tutorials. I've learned programming in C, VB
(version 6) and PHP but can't seem to understand ASP.Net or VB.Net
(their web-type programming). Gone to the Microsoft site with the
tutorials in video format but still can't 'get it'. Not sure what all
the files are that need to be deployed nor even the actual model(MVC?)
that the apps use.

Anyway, if anyone can point to some good books or websites, it would be
appreciated. Sorry if this is redundant or not the right newsgroup.

Thanks for reading,
Sheridan

Sheridan,

If you really want to learn ASP.NET and how it works, I suggest you stay away from the wizards and IDE. Yes, that means Visual
Studio or Visual Web Developer as well. When I started, I used a simple text editor to learn the basics. Once, I got the basics
down pack, I graduated to using IDE's since they will improve your productivity. Its like trying to drive, if you don't know how
to even walk. Its possible, but it will take a little more time and effort. ASP.NET UnLeashed and Teach yourself ASP.NET in 24 hrs
(1st ed) are some books to start with.

Thanks to everyone but yes, have tried that tutorial and just can't seem
to get the 'dataset' reader thing part. I'm sure it's just my lack of
understandin g because it all seems so 'wizard-like' that it confuses me.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

TDavis Jr. & Jon Pall,
Thanks. I'm thinking that has been my 'mistake' all along. I'm going to
order the Teach Yourself book and then see how that goes over. I'll also
give the ASP.Net Unleased a look.

Thanks and the advice to use the text editor probably will make a world
of difference,
Sheridan

Greetings. I've been programming for quite a while now, avoiding C/C++ at all costs. For reasons I won't go into, I've decided to learn it (them?). I have a strong handle on most programming concepts. I am relatively fluent in the following languages: C#, CIL, VB.NET, VB6. I have done several online beginner tutorials for C++ and found them to be rather easy to understand. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find many tutorials...

I have wanted to learn about network programming in Windows for a long time, but never really got to a good start. I think that it is mainly because I haven't found a good tutorial on the net. I guess I would prefer a good book, but good Internet tutorials are also interesting. Anyone that have any recommendations about good books or tutorial links?

Hi. I'm looking for some recommendations for Visual Basic 2005 books. Specifically, I'm NOT looking for books that detail the elements of the language, nor explain OOP, but rather present real-world scenarios for application development, and show how classes/components can be developed together to form the overall application. As an example, I already have a copy of Wrox's "ASP.NET 2.0 Website

Hi all, I'd like to ask for book recommendations, please. I'm a VB guy looking to move to C#. I have quite a fair amount of experience of VB.NET (and prior to that, VB4 through VB6), so I'm not new to programming or the .NET framework itself. I am also quite versed in general "object oriented" programming, especially since moving to VB.NET from VB6, although I've done object-oriented programming in VB6, too (well, as much as you can...

I did a fair bit of VB programming many years ago (>10) and have just downloaded the free VB Express 2008. What I need is a good tutorial (preferably in pdf format) or a good book that covers VB Express 2008 in some depth but not aimed at the absolute beginner. Most of the tutorials and books I have been able to find so far are too superficial. Recommendations?? Cheers
