[dba-Tech] Access vs. .NET

> Shamil, which books can you recommend - if you bought any at all?
Gustav,

I'd recommend MOC (Microsoft Official Courses) - IMO they give very good
overview and some good experience of the most useful in real-life
development .NET Framework features. I haven't seen books, which are that
good. Maybe I missed something.

101 Visual Basic and C# Code Samples
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=08E3D5F8-033D-420B-A3B1-3074505C03F3&displaylang=en

I have quite some books here too (most still to read):

- Dan Appleman. Moving to VB.NET. Strategies, Concepts and Code
- Julian Templeman, David Vitter "Visual Studio .NET: The .NET Framework.
Black Book"
- David Sceppa. Microsoft ADO.NET
- Andrew Troelsen. C# and the .NET Platform
- Jeffry Richter "Applied Microsoft .NET FRamework Programming"
- Marco Bellinaso and Kevin Hoffman. ASP.NET WebSite Programming. Problem -
Design - Solution. Visual Basic .NET Edition  (Similar title but C#
edition - is better - I've it too)
- Charles Petzold. Programming Microsoft Windows with C#

- G.A. Sullivan. .NET e-business Architecture
- Scott Short "Building XML Web Services for the Microsoft .NET Framework"
- Dan Wahlin. XML for ASP.NET Developers
- Michael Key. XSLT 2nd Edition. Programmer's Reference (it's not .NET - XML
but it's very good)
- Merril Chapman. In search of stupidity. (not .NET, but I found it
interesting and convincing to stay with MS)
- ...

I plan to purchase more but first I should finish with all that above and
some others I've here :) ...

HTH,
Shamil
