Hello,
I am an experienced VB/ASP/COM/SQL developer. I am about to embark on a
new web application which is going to be hosted on Windows 2003 Server
(previously been using NT4 Server). As this includes the .NET framework,
I thought it might be a good opportunity to look into ASP.NET and see
what it has to offer. I would like to go with C# rather than VB.NET.
I have spent the past couple of hours searching the web for info and
have got a bit confused !! There's just so much out there.
In short, does anyone know of a good quality resource (web site, book,
etc) on C# in ASP.NET that will be suitable for me. Bear in mind that I
have loads of experience with ASP and COM (whether that is a good or bad
thing in this context). I just need something that gets me straight in
developing. I don't want to have to wade through acres of theory before
getting my hands dirty. I'll learn the theory as I go along.
I have looked at http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/ which
seems quite good, although quite a few of the examples didn't work !!
They told me that I needed the .NET framework installed on my machine. I
thought the whole ASP.NET thing was on the server. If so, why do I need
..NET on my client machine ? If this really is a requirement to use
ASP.NET properly then I'll just drop the idea now. There simply too many
people who don't have .NET yet. This web application needs to be
available to all.
Any and all comments greatly appreciated.
