Good ASP/Visual Basic/SQL book

Question

Hey Everyone

I am starting off in the .NET world and wanted to know what a great beginner book would be that would explain how to use asp.net, vb and SQL.

I hear "Learning Visual Basic" is a good series but wanted to see if there were anymore out there.

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Almost everything I learned, I learned from the the first edition of "Programming ASP.NET" http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529567/. I was focused on C#, but I liked how this book had the code examples for both C# and VB and you could compare them side by side. I haven't read the current edition, but can only assume it is more up to date with later version of the .NET platform.

Also, I've always kept a copy of "SQL in a Nutshell" (also from O'rielly) on my desk.
