As a .NET newbie with a pretty solid background in PHP, MySQL and Applescript, what I really need is a solid, ground-up understanding of VB.NET as a *language*. I don't need instruction on draggin and dropping controls onto a form, but too many books books and tutorials I have dug up so far deal in this kind of thing too much.
I need to know things like:
1. How is the language structured? Everything I've read so far makes far, far too many assumptions about what I already know.
2. What the heck is a namespace and how does it relate?
3. How do I read the intellisense options I get when they are presented to me?
4. A fairly comprehensive list of language functions and what they do.
5. A solid OOP crash course back to which I can refer at any time when I don't remember what a constructor does.
SO, I have found this book:
Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 2005: The Language (Paperback)
Does anyone have any input about this book?
