Suggestions to learn vb.net

[=?Utf-8?B?UGV0ZXI=?=]

I need to learn vb.net but I have no VB experience. I believe I understand
OOP. Which books/webcats/virtual labs/websites should I check out?

Do you have any programming experience? If so which languages?

Thanks,

The book I turn to most often is the one by Francesco Balena. For the
framework stuff I also have the Jeffrey Richter book - but the stuff I do
isn't very sophisticated so I seldom need an understanding of the framework.
(Not that I wouldn't like to understand the framework, it just seems that I
usually can get the job done without it.) I also have the Petzold book but
I use it much less often than the Balena.

Good Luck, Bob

Which Balena book? His "Programmin g Visual Basic .Net" is written for
"Classic" vb programmers, which the OP said he had no experience in. I
haven't read his others however, so they could be different.

Hi Seth,

I know Visual Foxpro and T-SQL. I spend most of my time dealing with MS SQL
Server area.

Yes, that one ("Programmin g Visual Basic .Net"). I have no experience with
classic vb either. It just means that sometimes I don't bother to read a
paragraph in which he compares and constrasts some .Net feature to some
classic vb feature. Maybe the book is even better if you are a classic vb
programmer. But I have found that it's a great book for me and I have no
classic vb background.
