I need to learn vb.net but I have no VB experience. I believe I understand
OOP. Which books/webcats/virtual labs/websites should I check out?

Do you have any programming experience? If so which languages?

Thanks,

The book I turn to most often is the one by Francesco Balena. For the
framework stuff I also have the Jeffrey Richter book - but the stuff I do
isn't very sophisticated so I seldom need an understanding of the framework.
(Not that I wouldn't like to understand the framework, it just seems that I
usually can get the job done without it.) I also have the Petzold book but
I use it much less often than the Balena.

Good Luck, Bob

Which Balena book? His "Programming Visual Basic .Net" is written for
"Classic" vb programmers, which the OP said he had no experience in. I
haven't read his others however, so they could be different.

Thanks,

Hi Seth,

I know Visual Foxpro and T-SQL. I spend most of my time dealing with MS SQL
Server area.

Yes, that one ("Programming Visual Basic .Net"). I have no experience with
classic vb either. It just means that sometimes I don't bother to read a
paragraph in which he compares and constrasts some .Net feature to some
classic vb feature. Maybe the book is even better if you are a classic vb
programmer. But I have found that it's a great book for me and I have no
classic vb background.
