At this point, there is no point in working on VB.Net. Go right to the newest (free) product for programming.
If you want a good book on Visual Basic 2005, try Michael Halvorson's Microsoft VisualBasic 2005 Step by Step.
But don't waste you money on this book...as I did. Not for (any kind of) beginner,

March 01, 2006 This book was terrible. I would use it better to start a camp fire or to burn the trash.
There is absolutely no way a beginner could get through this book and harvest any meaningful information to assist them in VBA use.
Do not buy this piece of crap!!!!!!!!!!!Very limited applications,
August 30, 2005 I am a beginner and believe me this book was not for me. If I only wanted to develop a tic tac toe game program then this book would be for me. It covers beginning topics but barely scratches the surface. It was useless for the applications I was wanting to learn and didn't even mention most of them. Spend a little more money and get a book that is about 20x thicker so you actually have the info necessary to complete a project.Seen Worse, Found Better,
July 30, 2005 I purchased this book based mainly on the reviews written here at Amazon.com. While I would not say I am dissapointed, I do think this book (and every other "beginners" book I have read) could be alot better.
This book starts off well enough giving pretty detailed information on what is going on and why, however, as soon as you think you are beginning to get a grasp on the material, the author seems to forget that you are a "beginner." About half way through the book, you begin to feel as though you are simply writing the code that is presented and not actually learning what is going on.
If you are more of a visual learner, as I am, I would suggest a membership to LearnVisualStudio.Net instead of purchasing any more books. (No, I am not affiliated with them) After only two days of watching videos from that site, I have learned more than I did reading the entire Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Programming for the Absolute Beginner book.
