I was just wondering if anyone in the newsgroup has had the chance to use
either of these two books. I'm mostly interested in programming in VB.net
and was wondering if I also need to learn asp.net? The first book is
"programming the Web with Visual Basic .net "by Lynn Torkelson, Constance
Petersen and Zac Torkelson the second book is "Microsoft ASP.net programming
with Microsoft Visual Basic .net deluxe learning edition "by Microsoft
press. Does anyone in the newsgroup have any other suggestions and of great
books for programming web pages in VB.net.

When using VB.net to create web projects am I actually using Visual Basic or
am I using ASP.net?
 
I am not familiar with those books. I like the WROX titles: Professional
VB.NET 2nd Edition and Professional ASP.NET 1.0.

ASP.NET is not a language. It is an architecture for delivering rich
content over the web from a web server. If you plan to build web
applications, then yes, you should learn ASP.NET.

Because ASP.NET is not a language, you need to write the code in a language.
VB.NET would be the language (C# is also available) and it would run under
the ASP.NET architecture.
