Excellent Beginning Book

Beginning Visual Web Programming in VB.Net is well worth a read. The book is very straight forward and the examples are such that they guide you through quite easily so that the reader can follow along without much trouble.

XML is great if you need a pages that load fast and are efficient.The descriptions that come in these chapters increase your understanding...
