aspx thread: Next learning phase at the ASP/.NET crossroads

Question about where to focus my next stage of learning. I've picked up
enough VBScript -- from the three Wrox books I have and filling in the
holes in my learning from this forum-- to run some useful ASP Data bases.
I was going to get a better grasp of the VB world by taking a VB course.
My ISP just sent a notice that they are now offering .NET service and the
buzz about .NET is beginning to build. I have looked at the Wrox forum
on .NET and some other sites. I'd really like to know what the people in
THIS forum think about .NET, how it will help and where best to start.
Best book, maybe. Will the kinds of tasks addressed in this forum benefit
greatly from .NET? If so, where should we begin?
Thanks
Joe.

Hi Joe,
Professional ASP.NET is a great place to start, or even Beginning ASP.NET if
you don't feel confident enough to start with a Pro-level book. You should
note that ASP.NET is a completely new animal, and you will find that you
have to start at the beginning for a lot of things. The uptake for .NET is
certain to be huge: the technology isn't even released yet, and still
developers throughout the world are throwing themselves into learing about
it.
The first thing to do of course is to get the SDK from Microsoft. 128MB
download I'm afraid!
Matt

Actually you can download a trimmed version that weighs in at a mere
18MB - http://www.asp.net/
I'd highly recommend that you check out:
Sams Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672321688/4guysfromrollaco
It's a great place to start learning about .NET and ASP.NET. Also,
there are a gaggle of Web sites out there with free information on
ASP.NET:
http://www.aspalliance.com
http://www.aspng.com
http://www.aspfree.com
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com
http://www.123aspx.com
http://4guysfromrolla.411asp.net
and on and on and on...

Matt:
Thanks for the quick response. I'll check those books out tonight AND
finally get rid of that 10 gig drive that's been shrinking so fast.
