As a MCAD.NET, I can safely recommend the majority of MS Press books dealing with .NET, seeing as those are the only materials I used to study for the exams. It seems as though you've made up your mind to go with VB.NET, but I would strongly encourage you learning C# instead.
Also, Apress has some incredible advanced .NET books out (COM and .NET Interoperability, Advanced .NET Remoting, etc) and some really cool ones on the way (the Apress books usually deal with C#, though). With the exception of the "Design to Deployment" books, STAY AWAY from Wrox, as they try to cover too much info in too short of a book to really grasp the concepts and methods of the .NET languages and framework. MS Press books are incredible as beginner and intermediate books.

I am CF user have been for a few years now, but I wishing to branch out a little and widen my knowledge to the use of asp.net. Not that I am leaving CF. I have been looking on amazon for books and don't really see anything that stands out to me. I have done just a little bit of .asp a few years back but none since so I am looking for something that fits my lack of asp knowledge. Right now ASP.NET Unleashed seems to be a good choice. I'll definitely be heading the vb direction. Any recommendations from people that use to be in my shoes.

Today I was writing (hand coding) a form in code-view. I saved it to my web server and tried running it - didn't work correctly. Looked at the HTML source... WTF - what's all this garbage in here? I opened the file up in CFstudio and it appears that dreamweaver took the liberty of putting it's own tags in there. This is really bad for me... how do I set dreamweaver to save ONLY the code I've written in code view. I need to turn off its proprietary mark-up. Here's what it converted a simple xfa variable into: <MM:BeginLock translatorClass="MM_COLDFUSION" type="DynData" depFiles="" orig="%23xfa.pageDescription%23" ><MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT SOURCE="xfa.pageDescription" DYNAMICDATA=1><MM:DECORATION HILITECOLOR="Dyn Untranslated Color">{xfa.pageDescription}</MM:DECORATION></MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT><MM:End Lock > Help!! Adam. ps... the buttons in my toolbars are all greyed out... CFMLBasic, CFMLflow, CFMLAdvanced, etc. Is there a reason for this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
