 | Programming Visual Basic .NET 2003: Core Reference by Francesco Balena (Wintellect)
Buy new: £47.72 / Used from: £4.06 This book is a bit of a monster, but is a good read. Some examples are a bit half hearted but all the information required is here. Read in association with the next book....

 | VB.NET for Developers (Sams White Book) by Keith Franklin
Buy new: £28.99 / Used from: £4.00 This book is tiny compared to Balena's, yet covers almost all the topics. Superb. as it says in the title, for developers only! A5 size handy for reading on the train.

 | The Object Oriented Thought Process (Sams Professional) by Matt Weisfeld
Buy used from: £0.61 This isn't very technical, but if you're moving from a lesser OO language such as VB6 then this will help with the change of mindset. Very easy going.
