Good book for newbie at .net?

[budec]

Howdy.

Anyone recommand a good book in learning how to program in .net that goes
from 'utter newbie' to building simple applications?
I have some programing expeirence, but none with C/C++ nor with
GUI/Grpahical applications for windows. (actucally I have a litte with
C/C++ so I could firgure out that part, it's just that GUI programming
confuses me)


I have visual studio 2003 (with .net stuff) from work, but don't even know
how to build a project and stuff like that in it... so I need a book that
goes from very basic stuff to learning how to build simple GUI applications.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Budec,

I would not start with a book, start here it is all free

VB.net Resource kit
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/default.aspx

And if you have problems installing the resource kit
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/vbrkit/faq/#installvdir

Another resource for learning is the Quick Starts
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/

I hope this helps a little bit?

Thanks.. But I'm not into VB much and looking for something more focused on
C or C++ (C++ being the prefered). That, and the only thing I know how to
do is open Visual Studio... I'm kinda looking for a guide to walk me though
everything.


those are good resources though.
