The fact that you code in Java is going to make your journey through .NET an easy one. Why? because the Java runtime environment is basically the .NET Framework. There are hundreds of books on the shelves BUT they are very expensive. I'd recommend getting some free .NET tutorials (preferably C#, considering you code in C++ and Java) and learn from those. In my opinion, when you understand the concepts behind coding, learning more coding technologies and languages is easy - you don't have to start from scratch again. Just learn the syntax and new rules. So ya - Google is your best bet...
