i am new to programming and want to learn visual basic .net. my question is, would it be better to start with this book or should i start with the other wrox book visual basic express 2005 edition starter kit? i have already downloaded and installed visual basic 2005 express edition.


                                    Thanks.

Welcome, Dave,

If you're serious about getting started in programming, go with this book. Both books are suitable for people new to programming, but this one is twice the size and can therefore cover more topics and provide a bit more depth than the other Wrox book.

The Express Edition software you've already downloaded will let you do most of the projects in this book, and all of the projects in the other book.

Good luck,
David
