Hi,

First question, do you have any programming experience? If not, then I would actually suggest you learn beginners programming first and then tackle ASP.net.

Why? Because if you try to tackle asp.net directly, you will have a heck of a time IF you don't understand basic programming concepts. The reason being is that asp.net, right out of the box, has all kinds of things built on top of the programming that will just complicate the whole learning process to begin with.

That said, I would suggest, if you don't know programming, my basic PHP videos because most of the concepts are exactly the same as asp.net: www.killerphp.com

... Once you have a firm grasp of the basics of programming, you can then look into asp.net. Microsoft has a lot of training material right on their site.

You need to learn a language first. ASP.NET is just a framework. What will you use with it.

Traditionally ASP is Visual Basic, so VB.NET.

Currently the lead language is C#, so C#.NET.

But you can use others. PHP.NET, Python.NET...

You have to know what language you wish to use and learn it first preferably.

This might help you get started...

You're best bet, though, is probably to buy a book of tutorials and work through that, reading online articles on the side.

Re: Need advice.....!

Webucator has a great online training with instructors. I have used them for other training. So what language will you be using? You can use VB as you know it already, but for .NET C# is the defacto standard as it was written to be used with .NET.

I learned on the job and never had official training so other than Webucator I can't help with further suggestions.

Re: Need advice.....!

Last time I checked, most ASP.net programming is done with C#.

C# is basically Java on steroids. That said, any basic programming knowledge whether derived from C#, Java, Javascript, Actionscript or PHP will help establish that all to important base in basic programming.
