I'm interested in learning more about the nuts and bolts of .NET. I've
never developed with it before and I don't want marketing speak or API mumbo
jumbo.

I'm a seasoned Unix developer and I want something that isn't about how to
use APIs and such. For example, the only good book I ever browsed through
about COM/ActiveX was one that actually explained what they were (C++
vtables and abstract classes).

What are the core technologies (I know it uses intermediate languanges
similar to Java), how do they work, and why are they good?

Thanks

"Essential .NET vol. 1" by Don Box is a pretty good book for that.

I've just started reading a book from SAMS Publishing, "Visual Basic .NET
for Programmers". It seems to be explaining the things you were asking
about.
