OK, there are googles etc and threads dotted around, but if anyone could chuck in some book / course recommendations to learn .NET - then it would be appreciated.

Also if there is any thoughts on a good starting point for this development i.e should i have other skills before getting into it etc

Need a little motivation, so im starting by asking for advice and then will try and crack into it all - if i dont do it now, i never will :(
 
im starting with VB.Net - if anyone has any pointers

will also learn asp.net to add to that, once i have a good grasp of it all :)
 
I don't really know about industry standards, i don't work in industry, all I can say is, I wish i had started straight on c#.

I went from PHP -> VB -> C# (which is stupid as PHP and C# has similar syntax).
 
There are more c# developers out there than VB. Also most guides/tutorial i found are written in c#.
 
But C# does share a lot of similarities with other langues such as Java and object oriented PHP which would make it easier to lern those languges if you have C# experience.
 
The best way to learn .Net is to start some projects in it and then handle the problems as you find them and use info from MSDN. If you want to learn to program that's a different matter.

As for C# vs VB, i would suggest C# but it is handy to have the ability to read VB and understand it. C# and VB in terms of what they do (Var types and Lamda functions for instace) is getting closer and it's down to a matter of what you find easier. I've had two professional programmers job and both companies where exclusive C#ers but maybe that's because I'm a C# programmer :P
