I commonly recommend "Visual Basic .NET Step By Step" by Microsoft Press, which, as its name implies, takes you step by step through how the language works, using projects to demo new concepts. \n\nYou could also give a try to "Beginning Visual Basic. NET" by Wrox, which is more aimed at teaching you the language itself, unlike Step By Step, which is more aimed at teaching you how to do certain things with the language.\n\nSearch for them at amazon.com and you can see preview pages, etc.

First, since you didn't mention a particular version of VB, I would recommend using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. Associated with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, you can do really neat things very simply and quickly. Much better than previous editions.\n\nThen I would recommend three books:\n\n\n1. Wrox's Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Starter Kit \nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764595733\nTo begin. Included is a DVD-Rom containing VB 2005 Express, SQL 2005 Express and all the electronic documentation you'll need in the form of MSDN. The book is clear and good enough for an introduction.\n\n2. Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition for Dummies\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764597051\nThe book itself contains more ranting and lame jokes typical of the "for dummies" style, so it is pretty much useless, but the included CD-Rom contains very good tutorials and sample files that more than make up for the paucity of the book. Very good for a hands-on approach as opposed to the more theoretical approach of the first book.\n\n3. Beginning SQL Server 2005 Express: Database Applications with Visual Basic Express and Visual Web Developer Express  \nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590595238\nIf the website you need to create relies on database and you need more info than contained in the first two books.

Try the Visual Basic Bible.  It'll set you back around $50, but it's an awesome book.

Well for an official and thorough comparison between Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic .net refer http://www.microsoft.com/learning/syllabi/en-us/2562bfinal.mspx\n\nCoz let me tell you will find wat you are looking for and which we all also won't be able to tell you.

You can find Vb.net projects in this sites\n\nhttp://www.novicksoftware.com/downloads.htm\n\nhttp://members.tripod.com/m4_203g/id12.html\n\nBut my suggestion is that you do by your own, that will be helpful for you in your future

Although you'll find VB.NET easy to learn (since you know VB6), you'll be stuck with the proprietary VB.NET\n\nUse open-source PHP. PHP is your best bet.\n\nYou can find many ready-made PHP applications such as phpOCS ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpocs ), Clubdata ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/clubdata ) etc.\n\nPHP is *very* easy to learn.

Install Visual Basic 6.0 on your computer and use Visual Studio's one of the wizards to create your first application. Use help. Make changes. Observe change in behavior... Try try try.

Download the free edition of Visual Basic 2005 from the first link below.  When you register, you get access to a free e-book which I think is a great introduction to the system.\n\nThe other two links are Microsoft's sites for Visual Basic and .NET

Get a For Dummies book or Idiot's Guide To book.\n\nOnce you're ready to program, get Visual Basic from Microsoft.

I have found John Walkenbach's "Excel 2003 Power Programming with VBA" to best the best guide. The first 75 or so pages give a wonderful concise overview of using Excel; then he gets into actual VBA programming for the rest of the book. \n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764540726/ref=nosim/104-6173268-8751955?n=283155\n\nThere are many books that give more info about "using" Excel, but for non-beginners I have always found the different versions of this book to be the best balance of the basics and VBA.\n\nI would not recommend this book alone for a rank beginner though. If you need to really learn Excel from the ground up you would need to buy 2 books, one for Excel basics and then another for VBA.\n\nWalkenbach has written many other Excel books, including one of the best overall books (for beginners to power-users) "Excel 2003 Bible."\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764539671/ref=nosim/104-6173268-8751955?n=283155\n\nThere are many other fantastic Excel authors, I own over 50 Excel books, (I guess you could call me a bookaholic, I own over 400 computer books) almost 20 of them about VBA, even though I am a lousy coder. I just find his books are some of the easiest for novices to understand, the language doesn't get too "techie."

I strongly recomment this one:\n C#: The Complete Reference\n by Herbert Schildt\n\nSchildt is the best writer in programming tutorial books. I loved and used his books since 1996.

If you already know VB6, you'll probably like it better. If you're just learning the language, go with .NET

You can download a free version of Visual Basic from the link below.  Once you register, you'll get access to a free e-book, "Build a Program Now!", which I think is very good.  This version of Visual Basic includes .NET 2.0.\n\nThe other two links are Microsoft's information on Visual Basic and .NET.

Sam's Teach Yourself series is always good. If you just need basics, the For Dummies series works well. Microsoft Press's "Step By Step" books are also outstanding if you just want to quickly learn how to write programs with the Microsoft IDE.\n\nHowever, since Visual Basic 6 is a legacy product, why don't you invest in a book about Visual Basic .NET 2005?
