Good VB .NET Book Recomendations

I'm looking for recommendations on good books for VB .NET. I program in
Java, and have a little experience in VB 6 (while in school 3 years ago).
Beginning to intermediate books is what I'm looking at, based on the amount
of time I have not worked in VB.

I have complied a list of candidates based on consumer reviews from Amazon &
Barnes and Noble, but just wanted to get some suggestions here that I could
cross reference.

Thanks.

Thanks for your time! I've been programming in asp.net/vb.net for 1.5 years. I'm currently in the job market. I have to take a .net test at a potential employer. I'd like to try to prepare. I'm not sure what's going to be on the test. Will most likely inlcude ado.net and asp.net at least. Can you make some recomendations regarding texts to study? If you had to have two texts covering .net, what would they be? TIA

Hi everyone. I've been working with VB6 for a while now, I'm feeling pretty damn confortable with it, but find myself wondering about VB.NET and web applications. So I thought I'd get my feet wet. Well - let me tell ya - there's a whole lotta stuff that I need to teach myself. I have a whole slew of questions - to many and propbably just too basic to go into here - so I am hoping that someone out there can suggest a book that I can pick...

Can anyone give me a list of essential ASP.NET books? (also ADO.NET) I've heard ASP.NET Unleashed by Stephen Walther is one of the best around, but I have seen the numerous Microsoft Press titles in this area too, and am unsure as to which ones would really benefit me. I am a competent .NET programmer, but am new to ASP. Thanks in advance

I am an experienced programmer (40 years). I've done Algol (if you've heard of that you must be old too), PL/1, VB,VBA, a little C, and a few other odd languages (e.g. Taskmate). I'm interested in learning Python and have downloaded a slew of books. Too many. I'd like a recommendation as to which books are considered to be the cream of the crop. I know there are tutorials on the web, but, again, I don't know the quality. I would...

Crockford's JavaScript, The Good Parts (a book review). This shall perhaps be the world's shortest book review (for one of the world's shortests books). I like Douglas Crockford (because I am a crabby old man too; plus he _is_ smart and good).. But, how can he write a book on the good parts of JavaScript and not mention functions that address CSS & DOM? Weird. It's like

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
