    I personally wouldn't spend my own money on a book based on Beta software. Anything thing out this early is trying to make a quick buck on the .Net hype. I'd wait for a good book after the final release after people have been using .Net for real-world stuff, and just use the web / MSDN as a resource untill then.

    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    You can try the new book "Moving to VB.NET" - for Beta 2 by Dan Appelman. Check samples at his site http://www.desaware.com
    The MSDN that comes with .NET is a real maze! Check out the Quick start and samples instead which come with the .NET framework SDK.

    A book I can highly recommend is the 'Professional VisualStudio.net' book by Wrox Press.

    Prior to release the book was updated with Beta 2 relevant content.

    It is certainly worth a read

    As well as the 'Professional VB.Net', it's also worth getting 'Professional ASP.Net'. Both are Wrox books, very good and upto date.

    mate,

    trust me stick with the Microsoft site and do your research from that... Seen a couple of books.. and believe me they suck! half of them are bloody stories on the "concept" of .NET.

    which ofcourse we're all aware of!!! Spare me the concept and show me some CODE!

    cheers!

    Don't we have to prepare the canvas, paint and brushes before we can paint a mona lisa?

    Don't we have to dig a trench and fill it with concrete before we build a house?

    Don't we .....you get the message.

    Good reply Gaurav

    But digging trenches under our magical buildings is a bit worrysome sometimes - maybe I should read the plans more often.

    We off stupid minds and stumby fingers have concluded that the learning curve for .NET funcky stuff is in the .NET framework.

    The VB or C# stuff is not were the bulk of the learning is to be done...

    So a book specificly aimed at the framework might not be a bad weapon to add to the arsenal.

    Open to suggestions....
