I'm not sure if most printed book writers go in for that sort of thing: they're mostly big ego post graduates who wouldn't dare stoop to "such a level". There are numerous online resources, just google!

If you're willing to take abuse along the lines of "You the reader are stupid, I the author am rich and clever" then the omnipresent For Dummies cheat sheets are viable, which you can probably find online (there is a delete button on your keyboard!)

However, I would actually recommend MSDN for a serious no-nonsense style of presentation, at least if you have the program form that integrates with the IDE (comes with the subscription CD or at their website), once you've learnt all the basic syntax. Obviously, it is the authoritative resource, seeing as it's their language.

I hope some of the other guys here can recommend something better, as I'd be interested to have a look.
