VB.Net book 2008 without any GUI

[brandonb]

Hi all,

Does anybody know if there are any books out there that teach VB.net but without spending 75% of the book explaining windows forms? At work we've transitioned over to WPF and we have 2 people interested in learning VB.net but I want to get them a book that teaches them the .net framework and vb language, not windows forms.

Things like for loops, if statements, variables, scope, streams, etc. I was planning on just writing my own but I figured I'd ask first because I don't like writing that much.

This is the book I used when I first started learning .NET. It's a little dated now, but still a really useful reference:

Instead of searching google for "non GUI", search for "console applications" and you'll probably get better results.
