Recommendations - VB .Net courses/seminars

Hello -

I am looking for recommendations for courses/seminars regarding VB .Net and
Visual Studio .Net, preferrably in the Northeast. Has anyone attended
something they have been particularly impressed with?

Also, any suggestions for good books, CDs, will be appreciated!

I have found these books to be good resources:

Microsoft Press Step-By-Step books for .NET (C#, VB, ASP)
Visual Basic 2005 Black Book

Training by New Horizons in the Northeast has been very productive for me.

I've been very impressed with the new book _Start-to-Finish Visual Basic
2005_, although the author's name slips my mind.

Wasn't the author Francesco Balena?

I don't know about that. You could do worse than
being compared to or mistaken for Francesco Balena.

Sorry, he's the author of the only .Net book I have on my desk at work.
Besides, I could have said the book was by "The Master Programmer"
(although why would he write a book about a "dead" language?) Sorry - I
can't resist a good inside joke :-)

Thanks,

What is your level of expertise? Have you done VB in the past? Or it
completely
new? Have you done any VB.Net at all?

I heard Tim Patrick has out a new book called "Start-to-Finish Visual Basic
2005"
that's supposed to be pretty good.

The VB2005 step-by-step book from Microsoft is really, really basic.

For more thorough info, try Francesco Balena's VB2005 : The Language book.
I don't really think it's for a beginner-beginner, but would be a good
second
book. It has no forms or data, just The Language.
