Re: Need some advice about VS 2005 training

Hi,

I recommend reading the documentation.

Hi guys,

I've just started in a new job, and need to pick your brains about how
best to go about learning Visual Studio 2005 and related products.

I've been a software developer for 10 years now, but got out of the
industry back in 2003 for personal reasons. At the time I left, I was
using Visual Basic 6 and Visual InterDev to build web-based and
client-server apps.

Now I'm back in the IT business, and quite a lot has changed in the
meantime. My new position involves coding in Visual Basic .NET and C#,
all controlled through Visual Studio 2005.

I'm learning partly on the job by picking my way through project code,
but I could also use a couple of good self-help books. I don't need
anything really technical - something that can explain the framework
and methodology in simple language would be good :-)

Can anybody make any recommendations? Failing that, can anybody
recommend what books to avoid? Or have you gone through something
similar, and have a good story to share about how you got over the
learning hump?

Any advice/comments/disaster stories/warnings much appreciated!
