Best Book

Hi,

I have 10 yrs development experience. No VB, but lots of C++, Delphi,
and Database.

What would be the best book for me to learn VB.Net? I don't have the
time or the money to get and study more than one.

Thank You,
Scott Metzger

Check your local library. Mine has a bunch of VB.NET books, & I have 3
checked out that I'm working my way through.

Hard to beat the price... <g>

Sooo many good ones, but this is probably the best if you are just getting
started...

Scott,

Because $ was also an issue for me, I got Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Step
By Step by Michael Halvorson (the 2002 edition; ISBN 0735613745). This
included the VB.NET Standard edition. It is very good.
