VB6 guru wants to get ramped up on .NET

Hi

I consider myself a VB6 guru, but don't have much experience with VB.NET. I really want to get ramped up, but kind of don't know where to start

Any suggestions on good books, sites, or sample code that would help

Thanks
Marc

Can anyone give me any ideas on why VS.NET 2003 running on XP Pro. (P4's with 1GB RAM) would take over 3 minutes to simply create a new ASP.NET Web Application on http://localhost? It seems that the IIS directory gets created right away, but it is not configured as an application directory until several minutes go by. Thanks, Scott M.
