Visual Basic .NET book (with examples of multi-user access database)

[ashrobo]

Hi all,
I am new here.. just happen to stumble upon this forum! (= Im currently working on a multi-user system thats using MS Access and VB.NET. being a newbie in VB.NET, i am confused in getting the books that might be useful for me. ive got a copy of Visual Basic .NET Database Programming by Rod Stephens here, but he deals more with MSDE. just hoping that i can get more recommendations of books from the gurus here.

thanks in advance,
ashrobo

edited to add: oops.. i didnt know where to post this thread. sorry for any inconvenience caused! (=

If you want something more advanced....

VB http://www.wrox.com/books/1861007167.htm

C# http://www.wrox.com/books/1861007043.htm

ADO http://www.wrox.com/books/186100527X.htm

ASP http://www.wrox.com/books/1861007035.htm

I dont work for Wrox, but they are my favorite (for .NET), I have read a couple of others and would not recommend them.

Id go with a "teach yourself..." guide if youre new to programming in general - they will teach you the IDE and the *very* basics of "programming". It would probably be helpful to find a book geared towards actual coding uisng whatever language you want. The books are usually split between how to develop a windows interface (a LOT on using controls, their events and such) and how to program (the structure of a language). Im not sure of your level so I cant make any suggestions.

If youre already a programmer/developer, Id check out the Wrox books Robby listed. Wrox rocks, IMO. And of course, read this forum every day to keep the bugs away

ive done Foxpro, C, C++ and Java programming before, just new to Visual Basic. ill check out the Wroxs VB .NET book. the problem is that most of the books deal with SQL Server, having a hard time finding one that talks about MS Access. anyway, thanks guys and gals! (=
