I wish to start learning Dot Net. Focussing on VB and C++ languages. Also using SQL for Back-end. But I need to have some guidelines on how to start learning. I know VB 6.0, Java and C++(Not very advanced, but still good enough). I searched online, and found a few tutorials, but am unable to find the perfect software needed to start. I knw I sound like a n00b here, but can anyone please guide me to the softwares I will need? Names and links to the official sites, please...

Hanging, since 2004..
Get a copy of Visual studio 2008 IDE (check if student version is available for free/cheap). As you are comfortable with VB then you will be ok with VB.net syntax.
Learn about basic framework, CLR/CTS/Garbage collection, page events , collections, generics, common Interfaces, delegates etc to get started. If you need any help with web applications in .net I will be glad to help.

Is Visual Studio Team and Visual Studio Professional the same?
If not, what are the differences??

^ Visual Studio Editions Comparison

I think you should pick up a beginners book and Visual Studio Express and Microsoft SQL server Express. They are free and I will assure u that you want miss functionality from the full editions :) There are no differences from a beginners point of view.

See this page for all the express editions. (they are way smaller and lighter on your system too then the pro versions)
