Book - Learn to Program Visual Basic.Net by John Smiley. This book was so
simple I actually read the whole thing! Don't be fooled by the simplicity
of this book. Somehow the content of this book actually stick with you.
I've been intensely studying .Net for 15 months. I have moved from calling
C-Sharp - C Pound to an being an intermediate programmer creating window and
web application that calls async webservices while displaying process bars!
The point I am trying to make is that the videos and webcast have
accelerated my learnings. .... oops I almost forgot to give you another
goodie....
