I need to learn a bit of it for work. Mostly a working knowledge, not really full on development. Anyway this is the only decent starting tutorial I've found: http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/default.aspx

[url]www.asp.net[/url] seems to have a bunch of stuff, but it's all video tutorials (Boo!)

So yeah, what sites are good resources for ASP.net? Any books I should perhaps look into?

I would learn C# and .NET first. Also, ASP.NET is becoming quite different now. ASP.NET was made to mimic Winforms by having controls and a View State to mimic some kind of persistent state to an otherwise stateless platform (which HTTP is). Each button click or drop down change (if you told it to) posted back to the server. This meant the entire page refreshed. In 2005 this was perfectly acceptable. With the surge of AJAX, the full page post back is now up there with table-based designs (i.e. actively shunned). Of course this means the use of a lot more web services.

So yeah, I would become familiar with C# and .NET first.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

It's funny this topic comes up.

I'm finishing my 664 page Beginning ASP.Net 3.5 book today. (30 pages left)

I'm going to start reading my beginning SharePoint 2010 development book after this. (somewhat unrelated, but it's built on asp.net)
