Looking for a VB.NET book geared towards Console applications

[brad]

As the title states, I'm trying to find a book or resource to teach a
novice programmer how to program in VB.NET, but specifically geared
towards console applications.

The person learning has a background in PowerBasic for DOS and the
visual designers in Form based applications is extremely foreign to
him, and unnecessary for the programming tasks he wants to perform.

All the other "Learn to program VB.NET" books I've found dive straight
into form/control programming.

Any suggestions from anyone who went from a DOS style environment to
..NET?

Brad,

You can be a book reader, however you can as well use the Visual Basic
Express, it is free for one year and there are a lot of samples on MSDN and
in other places in the world.

For help is mostly this newsgroup one of the best places.

I hope this helps,
