A list of nice resources:
- Three youtube introductions: Getting started with Netduino, Button tutorial and Using event handlers
- API Reference for .NET Micro Framework
- Netduino Wiki
- Netduino for beginners - Gentle introduction with basic electronic project
If you have a Netduino Plus, ISBN 978-1449393571 (Getting Started with the Internet of Things: Connecting Sensors and Microcontrollers to the Cloud) might be interesting.

I shall devide this question in a few parts, hopefully it's clear. If not, please let me know.The Arduino Mega I have runs on 5v now I know the Netduino runs on 3.5v but I can plug anything upto 12v into the Ardu and it will throttle the voltage down, will the Netduino do the same?
The Netduino has a power barrel with an input voltage (Vin) from 7.5 to 12V. This is for the micro controller, not the signal pins. The same counts for the power barrel on the Arduino. It's also possible to put 5V on the 5V pin to power it up, just like with Arduino.
Then there are signal pins. With some Arduino boards the pins work with 5V signals (although Arduino is also moving towards 3V3). The Netduino can accept both 5V and 3V3 on it's pins, but it will only output 3V3. One exception are the analog pins. Since it needs to convert 0-3V3 to an integer (0 to 1024) it's limited to 3V3 as input voltage. But that only counts when using the pins as analog input.

Indeed. And you will notice that shields rarely depend on 5V signal output. It actually only happens with analog devices. So far I had two shields which I had to modify: the Dangershield and Joystick Shield. Even in those cases, a simple modification was sufficient to get everything working.Awesome, so unless I'm mistaken the batterys fine and the only thing that will have an issue are my arduino shields and bits that are 5v output dependent?
