Do you plan to do VB programming or include database processes as well?
Searching for "ADO.NET" and not "ADO"
But buying a book from chapters or something such as
"Programmin g Microsoft® ADO.NET 2.0 Core Reference (Paperback)"
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Mi.../dp/073562206X
isnt a bad start
Now keep in mind that book was written for 2005, so "Linq" did not exist
yet. (new features of 2008)
But you have to learn some basics before moving up.
I am in a simillar boat - that booked has helped me tremendously. I am not
'ready' to learn linq as I am still learning how to properly do 'database'
things.
So you could try to google up something like "vb.net ado.net pdf" and see if
you find what your looking for.
For me - it is a very hard learning curve and I still beleive I am near the
bottom-middle somewhere.
Where I have an idea of how it should be written - and in most cases write
it wrong :)

>I did a fair bit of VB programming many years ago (>10) and have just
downloaded the free VB Express 2008. What I need is a good tutorial
(preferably in pdf format) or a good book that covers VB Express 2008 in
some depth but not aimed at the absolute beginner. Most of the tutorials
and books I have been able to find so far are too superficial.
Recommendations ??
