Hi all,
Can any one of you suggest the best way to jump start learning ASP.NET? I have been thinking of joining a tutorial group but, am working full time, so may not be suitable for me! I am also thinking of self training using books and internet, but am not sure if this would be easy enough or simple as I may dare to think. Can you guys please suggest what would be the best way to go ahead. I am used to self learning as I have taught myself a few languages, but that was way too primitive! Help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Given that we're on the site for a book publisher, I'm predisposed to saying "yes, a book is a very good way to learn!" :)
I'd recommend "Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 with C#" by Chris Hart, Dave Sussman, John Kauffman, and Chris Ullman:
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...470042583.html
when you get stuck on something (and you will, everyone does in ASP.NET), there's a very active forum for questions about the book here:
http://p2p.wrox.com/book-beginning-asp-net-2-0-book-vb-isbn-978-0-7645-8850-1-c-isbn-978-0-470-04258-8-228/
and a good general ASP.NET 2.0 forum for beginners here:
http://p2p.wrox.com/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=133
both with a lot of members who would love to help you past rough spots. Between the book and the forum, it's the best of both individual and group learning.
