i'm downloading vb express 2005 as I type. I'm keen to learn a bit of programming but cant seem to find any sites that give any vb express 2005 tutorials. does anybody know of any or is it too early/new for this
also, would tutorials for older versions of VB still be valid with the 2005 version
i see it does have a screensaver tutorial - i'm looking for other tutorials at this stage.
Totally new to programming and VB. Any suggestions for tutorials???

If your quite new to programming, then learning some programming concepts would be very useful specially concepts regarding classes and objects since VB.Net is a Object-Oriented Language.
As to the old tutorials, yes some of it would work, definitely the beginner ones. But there were some changes in the new VB.Net 2005. There were renaming of namespaces and objects... Just browse the MSDN Docs included in the VB Express...
Here are some books that I would recommend you on reading:
MCAD/MCSD Training Kit—Developing Windows-Based Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET
http://aneas.net/ebooks/Programming-and-Problem-Solving-with-Visual-Basic--NET.asp
(Note: theses books are intented for .net framework 1.0,1.1)

Terrific basic information and more to come.
www.learnvisualstudio.net is a good commercial site in my view.
MSDN has lots of good articles like

Onced you register VB Express you get access to 3 ebooks at www.microsoftelearning.com including Introducing MicrosoftR Visual BasicR 2005 for Developers
The RRS Reader tutorial webcast is a good one as well

In a general scope you can go to www.gotdotnet.com and have a look at the user samples there, play with them and try to understand them. You can also go to the Quick Starts for common tasks, these a small samples of code that will go through doing the basic tasks like reading and writing files.
For DirectX Programming, for games or other applications you can always drop by on www.ircomm.net as we have links to Managed DirectX Resources that will help you.

The post says that you can get access to 3 ebooks from Microsoft when you register VB 2005 Express Edition. I have downloaded and installed VB 2005 Express Edition and also registered it with Microsoft. So, how can I get acess to these 3 e-books.
I know VBScript and have just switched over to VB 2005. I have gone thru the some beginner samples & lessons at Microsoft site. Just got to know how to make simple forms and use of simple controls from ToolBox. Now I need to know the basics, filesystem & other stuff. I am looking for an e-learning book or some step-by-step Tutorial or some more samples for learning.
