I need a good Visual Basic resource?

I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003





I need to bring myself up to speed on VB in a 3-10 week period. I have been coding at intervals for 20 years and have coded in COBOL and C but more recently in PHP but havent written any code in 3 years (ended up on the business side).





I have an application I wish to write to hopefully kick off a small software company of my own and wish to do this in VB.





Can anyone recommend a good resource to help me come up to speed on VB in the shortest possible time. I'm not the worlds best at writing code but I'm not bad and am familiar (I think) with most of the main concepts used in a SDLC today.





I have a decent budget to play with for training resources.





Thanks

Hello,


You can begin from Microsoft MSDN site


That is the origin of MS programmers.

Reply:http://www.thescarms.com/ has good samples I have found http://www.devx.com/ rather helpful too.





.Net is a bit of a pig, the 2003 version is not as good as 2005 but I still prefer to use VB6 and utilize the API declarations.
Reply:Here is a good source for Visual Basic, but it is version 6.0, but you may convert them to VB.net. It is actually maintained by me since 1996.
