I recommend ASP.NET Tips, Tutorial and Code by Mitchell, et al. published by SAMS. Granted the book is geared more towards web-based apps it is nevertheless very helpful in getting the basics down. -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Kath Pelletti Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 4:40 PM To: Access D SQl Server List; Access D Normal List Subject: [dba-SQLServer] VB.net reference books - experiences + SQL Server List (Cross posted to SQl Server and AccessD normal list) 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? ______________________________________ Kath Pelletti _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
