Hello John
the books i was referering were the following
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/073...books&v=glance
This is the complete self paced training kit ( all the core requirments to
become a MCSD )
this is true value for monney as one book wil cost you at least $ 40 this
one got them all
70-315
70-316
70-320
70-300
+ VS .Net 2003 evaluation software, + includes 550 practice questions ( and
the answers )
this is the official preparation for MCP , MCAD and MCSD
it will teach you everything you need to know to become a full featured
developer ( application development , enterprise development , web
development , consulting ) even if you don`t go for the MCSD , MCAD , MCP
status :-)
A must have for every VB programmer is in my eyes the Balena Book this is
the official MS press Core reference guide that covers almost every VB.net
programming topic , and is a perfect reference verry well and clear written
, with good tips and practices ( reading his books, articles and visiting
his website made me a much better programmer
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/073...books&v=glance
please note that there are multiple versions of this book
VB6 , VB.Net 2000 , VB.Net 2003 and in january 2006 the VB.Net 2005 edition
wich you can pre order at Amazon ( i did that )
all written by Francesco Balena and the MS press official language
references
the link is to the 2003 version
Believe me that i know from experience that the above books are really worth
every cent they cost , i dear to say that i have a lot of experience but the
above books made me a much better programmer .
my experience is that there are a lot of coders out there , but there are
not so many good coders, the above books will make you a better coder :-)

I am looking for VB.Net books which provide a lot of exercises (preferrably
with all the answers worked out on CD).
In earlier reactions Ken Tucker and M.Posseth recommended a few books.
Thanks for both of your reactions.
Ken included the links, so it is clear which books he recommended (I will
get them!)
M.Posseth recommended "the complete MCSD self paced training kit" and
"Programmin g Microsoft Visual Basic form Francesco Balena", "the
official ms press core reference".
I found the core reference book in the .Net version (ISBN 0735613753),
but there are a lot of Microsoft books with the words "self paced traing
kit" in the title. Was the "~.Net Core Requirements" one (ISBN 073519255)
intended?
For others, additional recommendations are very wellcome.
Thanks and Regards,
John,
