I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good book/publication for learning VB.Net (and if possible on VS 2010). It is intended for someone who has never programmed before and has very limited knowledge regarding how programming works.
I am hoping to find a book that explains what you are doing and why...but also something that doesn't give too much extra information. The person it is intended for has a minor autism which mentally sets him back a few years, so while he is 18 - mentally he is closer to a 14 year old (...though that is also to blame on his parents and the public school system, but I won't get into that...).
The reason for VB.Net is simply because I am familiar with VB so if he runs into any issues I may be able to help (though part of this will hopefully be me teaching him how to reach out to other resources for assistance).
Thank you for any suggestions the collective might have.
