Have you tried looking for tutorials!? Sheesh! Two seconds and I got
this. Its also very interesting for anyone who really couldnt care less as it does cover a bit of history. Personally, I only know VB6 and not much at that however I am planning to try learn VB.NET 2005. Oh and Express Ed is fine for basics. However it is notable, M$ sell a version at over 2K!!! Anyways, good luck and have fun! Maybe soon you'll be the one answering my questions about VB.NET 05.
