Same as awesomegamer... coming from AH4F. Hope this service also doesn't go kaput like they did!!!
That is all I can think of now... for rest, do check out my site... (which I'll post back when I get an account )
I don't think you'll need books for learning Visual Studio. If you have the MSDN library, it will be more than enough.
Keep trying out things from the library and you'll get the hang of it.
