Hello,
I am a seasoned Classic ASP programmer who is interested in learning
ASP.NET. I
bought a book (Que's Special Edition Using ASP.NET) which is complete
rubbish, and would like a recommendation of something better.
I have a very basic idea of how ASP.NET works having spent a couple of
days playing with it, but it's still a large amount of fog with only a
little clarity. I would like something that explains what's going on
whilst doing examples, not just one that says "click here and type
this" without explanation.
I have Microsoft's ASP.NET Resource Kit CD, which is good as far as it
goes, but is lacking in explanation and (a lot of it) requires Visual
Studio.NET which I don't have. I completed a complex tutorial, but
then got stuck when trying to add a fairly simple feature. I realised
that I didn't really understand what I had done, and so couldn't
extend the tutorial. I also have the .NET SDK, but the sheer volume of
material is overwhelming, and I would like to concentrate on ASP.NET
for the moment. I also prefer books to reading on screen.
I would like a book that concentrates on C#, although I don't mind a
dual-language one with VB.NET as well.
Please feel free to make any recommendations.
