Book for VB.NET

I have been using Visual Basic 6 and ASP (Visual Interdev 6) for a few
years. I would like to learn VB.NET and ASP.NET.
If I study Visual Studio.NET, will it cover both ASP.NET and VB.NET ?
Based on your experience, what is a good book to study from ? Any of the 21
days series book that are good ?
Thanks.

Most books I've read include discussion of ASP.Net although there are some
books specifically on that subject. I recommend you buy just 2 books to
start:

Programming Visual Basic.Net, Francesco Balena
Microsoft ADO.Net, David Sceppa

Enjoy.

Thank you.
Which of the following 2 books were you referring to, and how are they
different?
Programming Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET Version 2003 by Francesco Balena
(ISBN: 0735620598)
or
Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Core Reference) by Francesco Balena
(ISBN: 0735613753) ?

I have the 2002 Version, so I couldn't tell you for certain, but I would
speculate that the 2003 version has some info for Framework 1.1. I can't
imagine there is a huge difference between either one though. It's not for
the faint of heart -- over 1500 pages.

The best books, not just because of content but the style and organization,
are books by Murach Press. www.murach.com

All of his books on Visual Basic are the best. Code and bullet points are
on the right hand page. And if you need a more in depth description, the
left hand page contains those details.

For authors of books that I'm looking to buy, I tend to Google those names
in the newsgroups. It can tell you heaps about whether or not this is
someone you want teaching you. While the design of a book can certainly add
much to or totally destroy your comprehension, if pushed to choose, I lean
more toward the technical competence side of the advice.
