I have an experience of more than 2 yrs on VB6.0 &
ASP2.0. I would like to know how do I get myself started
on the .NET platform. Are there any books that I may need
to refer? Also, do I need to learn all the three
languages- C#, ASP.NET & VB.NET right away?
 
You can just learn one language (C# or VB.Net) to start, although becoming
familiar with both is always a plus. It's smart to do some research before
you get started, because it's a major change from VB6 -- think of it as a
new language with many similarities to VB6. ASP.Net isn't a language, but a
way of using either VB.Net or C# to build web applications.

Two books I like: Dan Appleman, "Moving to VB.Net: Strategies, Concepts and
Code," which is is a great "big picture" book about the how and why VB.Net
is different from VB6, and Gary Cornell & Jonathan Morrison, "Programming
VB.Net: A Guide for Experienced Programmers," which is more of a how-to-use
introductory reference guide. Both are from APress.

Good luck!
