I used Objects First With Java: A Practical Introduction Using BlueJ (4th Edition) by David J. Barnes and Michael Kolling.  Priced like a college textbook because it is.

However, you can download BlueJ for free.    http://www.bluej.org/   This omits the instruction but does provide you with an IDE (of sorts) and program source code, both good and bad examples.

I'm guessing you don't have tuition reimbursement available.  If you do, you could take a course (except many colleges already started).  Sometimes it's useful to have someone review your code.  (Of course, you could post code here and get help.)

Following up on arundhaj.  I agree.  I think that leads to a question for the author -- what do you already know about OOP principles?  I don't know VB.NET so I don't know what you know about the OOP principles.  Do you know these terms?

Encapsulation
Polymorphism
Inheritance

This is only a partial list.
