Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. Looks great and I hope to learn a lot and hopefully help others along the way.
I have programmed VB since version 1.0 (!) but for the last few years my company was concentrating on Java so I have done no .NET work. (What Java did do was teach me good OO skills, so I'm grateful for that!) Recent shifts in our environment have me back working on VB and I just bought Visual Studio 2005.
So, I have over 10 years experience with VB through VB6 but none in .NET. I was wondering if there are any books specifically aimed at the experienced VB programmer coming to .NET for the first time, or failing that, any book you think would be good for someone like me. I opened one book in the store and the first chapter was "What is a computer?" I think I'd like something a little more advanced.
I should add that I'm looking more to learn .NET concepts, no so much port applications. I'm more likely to redesign them after learning VB.NET.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
