Anyone got a recommendation for a good book on programming in VB.net for
Smart Devices?

I need a basic understanding of how VB .net works, and then specifics on the
compact framework.
 
I agree with Skicow and Dan and Larry's book is a must have. The Compact
Framework Core Reference is another must have

Dan Fox and Don Box's Building Solutions with the Microsoft .NET Compact
Framework is another great book. It's smaller than the other two, but
extremely informative.

The Compact Framework Quickstart
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...002-8568595-4174400?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
has a lot of good material, most of it's covered in the above titles in one
form or another, but it's well worth the money.

If you need to learn how VB.NET works, Francesco Balena's Visual Basic .NET
Core Reference is probably the most complete book I've come across (It's
rather large though). Any of the VB books by Rocky Lhotka, Chris Sells,
John Connell, Dan Appleman, Matt Macdonald should work for you too.

HTH,

Bill
