Are Visual Basic 6 books useless for learning Visual Basic 2008?

I want to learn Visual Basic 2008 but I noticed that most books are for Visual Basic 6 or Visual Basic Net. Should I stay away from these books if I want to learn Visual Basic 2008?

Are Visual Basic 6 books useless for learning Visual Basic 2008?
VB 2008 as I saw it is a .NET product, VB 6 books are not applicable, precisely if the said programmer is moderately experienced what VB 6 book can teach a VB.NET programmer can be self-taught in half a hour of poking around, they are too different besides simple syntactical similarities.
Reply:They wont entirely be the same, but VB '06 has mostly the same code as '08 and .NET.


It will help you some, but use MSDN for VB '08
