VB.NET recommend a book

I have several years experience in VB and VBA. I now need to get up to speed
on VB.NET and need a book. I don't think I will need a beginners book but
one that aims at people with people with previous programming experience, in
particular perhaps VB.

Can you recommend one?

Hi Bobby,

I'll recommend 2 and a third for database work.

Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .net - Balena, MS press; visual basic
..net and the .net platform - Troelson, Apress (he's harder but also very
good).

For database programming using ado .net - Sceppa, ADO .net ms press.

HTH,
Bernie Yaeger

I second Balena, a terrific book if you have VB knowledge
already

I recommend the VB.NET Visual QuickStart by Harold Davis.

I'm interested in learning more about the nuts and bolts of .NET. I've never developed with it before and I don't want marketing speak or API mumbo jumbo. I'm a seasoned Unix developer and I want something that isn't about how to use APIs and such. For example, the only good book I ever browsed through about COM/ActiveX was one that actually explained what they were (C++ vtables and abstract classes). What are the core technologies...

Hello, I am a seasoned Classic ASP programmer who is interested in learning ASP.NET. I bought a book (Que's Special Edition Using ASP.NET) which is complete rubbish, and would like a recommendation of something better. I have a very basic idea of how ASP.NET works having spent a couple of days playing with it, but it's still a large amount of fog with only a little clarity. I would like something that explains what's going on

Greetings. I'm a VB6 programmer that has just installed the VB.Net. I would like to learn VB.NET as quickly as possible. Already I'm finding simple issues such as the Print object not supported in VB.Net. Wish to port my programs over to VB.Net before I continue on them. Was wondering what book most of you had found to be really good at taking a VB6 programmer into the NET world.

Yes, perhaps this thread would be more suitable for an AI usenet group and I have also posted my question there, but I want to know Python community's opinion. Could you recommend me please a good AI book to start with? I don't want to see Lisp code, if possible ;-D Thanx in advance

I am starting a new job that involves programming in c# and using ASP.net. I have some experience with c# but have little knowledge of ASP, I would like to get a book about each so I can get some reading done before I start. I would describe myself as a intermediate c# programmer, can anyone recommend books on both technologies ?, any help appreciated.
