>Seriously, I have almost rejected the entire technical book market. The best way to spend money is to first subscribe to VBPJ. Then, go spend time at DevX. The best books are the ones that show you the basics. Almost anything that attempts to go into a lot of detail or a lot of complexity is crap. Spend time reading whitepapers and looking at examples. Get out there and do it.
