    Learing VB.Net and ASP.Net??

    What books do you recommend to use to learn VB.Net and ASP.net. I know the ways of VB6 and ASP, but I think its time to start learing the .net.

    When I started with VB6, I used the Step by Step Visual Basic 6 from microsoft and visual basic 6 distributed Exam cram.

    Your signature says you know C++, if I were you, I would look into learning C# instead of VB.Net.

    Once you learn C#, you can easily switch back and forth between the two. I found that people that learn VB.Net first and don't have any/much Java or C++ experience tend to have a real hard time with C# and need lots of help converting the languages back and forth.

    I like the Progamming C# book from O'Reilly. It is a general get you on your feet quickly book to learn C#. I also liked the Programming Winodws With C# book from MS Press. It teaches you how to use all the Windows Forms controls and teaches you how to use the GDI+ a little.

    Just to let you know, I don't own any VB.Net books, so I can't recommend any.

    My primary language is VB.
    C and C++, I manage my way around. Havent done any complex things with them thou...

    Like VB much more proberly because I have studied it more than C and C++.... At least for me the vb is more like a "regular" language (ie. English and Swedish)...

    But I will look at C# when I get my Visual Studio .Net...

    I would recommend this book "Mastering VB.NET" published by Sybex . It's a complete referece(about 1210 pages) . It's divided into beginners then moves to intermediate then advanced . It also covers (all functions like : IO , Graphics , File & Folders , Math ..etc) . Since you have good experience , I guess you won't have any problem reading that book .

    As for ASP.NET , I have great book (couldn't start reading yet) .It's ASP.NET Web Developers Guide published by Syngress . It follows coding in VB.NET and C# for all the example . So it fits for both languages . It contains 750 pages . I can't tell you if this is the best in the market but it looks fine to me at least since it covers lots of ASP.NET areas and the new tech .
