Can anyone point me in the right direction to start .NET

The situation is this, I am a experienced J2EE developer who wants to
familiarize himself at a development level (& of course improve my CV
content). I have used Visual Basic 6 & Visual C++ for many years but not for
the last 4!

I want to convert some of my J2EE app's to .NET but need obviously to do
some good groundwork first in order to see how it's done in the .NET world -
where do I start?

Any good books, web sites, newsgroups (apologies if posted to the wrong
ones!) etc... anyone could recommend would be greatly appreciated!

thanks

harry

As an experienced J2EE developer, you will already be familiar with the
*concepts* involved in .NET programming. A lot of the Framework will be
*very* familiar to you (the System namespace, mostly). I would
recommend you get the Richter C#/CLR book (make sure you get the
edition for .NET 2.0) and just work your way through that. It's big,
but it's all very useful.
