You may find it helpful to go directly to a set of samples of VB, C#, and
Jscript code. This can
be done by clicking here.
Then click on the "Start the ASP.NET Quickstart tutorial" and
under
"Getting Started" click on "Language Support."
If you want to go directly to the page you want,
just click --> xxxxx.

Resources
1. Deitel, H. M., P. J. Deitel, and T. R. Nieto, Visual Basic .NET,
How to Program, 2nd Edition,
published by Prentice Hall. ISBN 0-13-029363-6.
(The closest thing to a VB .NET bible. A great
reference book.)
2. Deitel, H. M., P. J. Deitel, and C. H. Yeager, Simply Visual Basic .NET
2003,
An Application-
Driven Tutorial Approach, published by Prentice Hall. ISBN 0-13-142640-0.
(This is just what
it says it is -- an Application-Driven Tutorial Approach.
It is not as useful for reference as Item 1.)
3. Code Samples and Movies on
"How to ... in VB" Look
for "101 Code Samples" and "VB at the Movies."
Click on the links or type the above phrases (one or other) into Search
window and click GO to get to
the same place.
-- You can access the 101 code
examples by following the directions on this "home page".
If you
do
this, note that after clicking on "download files below" you
need to go to the bottom of the page
and click on
the VisualBasic.msi link. Be sure you know where your code will be
placed before
you turn this
loose. You need a separate file in some directory you want to use to
do this.
-- The movies are a bit advanced for you right now -- but they should not
be by the end of the course.
