I have been learning SQL Server 2005 and vb.net this year......I have found Mike Gunderloy's book "Mastering SQL Server 2005" an absolute god send. I would highly recommend this one to anyone going through this learning curve....

But the book I bought for learning vb.net is not so good - "Visual Basic 2005 - Programmer's reference' by Rod Stephens. It's not too bad - very much like reading the MS help screens - but I am looking for a book which will step me through it - a la Mike's style. Any recommendations?

(I know O'Reilly's are good but I am told by my colleague here that that it is more of a reference book.)

(While I am posting - it's very quiet on our SQL list for now - is there another list anyone has been using which they would recommend?
