Looking for .NET book recommendations

[Machaira]

I have one that is pretty good, but I'm looking for others. I'm not going to say which one so I don't get any biased opinions.

If you're an intermediate to advanced VB6 user and looking to come over to .NET then I recommend this one;

Another good book is "Coding Techniques For Microsoft Visual Basic .NET" by John Connel. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735612544/qid=1038699326/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-7876988-5095901

 

Another book which is looking good (have to wait until Christmas to indulge myself in it) is "Visual Basic .NET: The Tutorials" by Karl Moore.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/159059021X/qid=1038699353/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-7876988-5095901

I bought two books from Amazon and I think they're pretty good.

 

Applied Microsoft .Net Framework Programming

by Jeffrey Richter

 

This book gives you the low-level details about how the framework works and why it was built the way it is.

 

And,

 

Programming Windows with C#: Core Reference

by Charles Petzold

 

You'll know the author if you've done windows programming with C in the past. This book basically teaches you how to build windows forms programs with C#. It's a good read because the author isn't boring.

For web programming I use ASP.NET Unleashed. It's a good book but the index sucks.

 

For Windows programming I use Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Core Reference).

 

I've used VB 6 and ASP in the past and I was worried that it would be difficult to learn .NET programming. However, with the books above I was coding within a week. .NET programming isn't that bad. I'm still run into problems only because I lack experience with the technology. But I come to this forum to find the answers to my problem.

What exactly are you looking for? .NET framework information? C#? VB.NET? I'm recommend anything from O'Reilly. I've always read and loved their books.
