How can I learn ASP.NET?

Question

I am an absolute beginner at ASP.NET. How can I learn it better?

Currently I am reading ebooks. Can you suggest better ways, or other ways, I can learn ASP.NET?

Answer 1

Read book and solve your problem with the knowledge you get from there.

Being in the same position as you but with Struts and Java I found very useful to ask questions on Stackoverflow to the questions I couldn't find any answer in the book.

Answer 2

Learn ASP.NET http://www.asp.net/learn/

Answer 3

the asp.net website has a lot of (video) tutorials on many subjects.

Answer 4

I would start out at ASP .NET Learning Pages

They have plenty of videos ranging from beginners to more advanced stuff... Great resource... G

Answer 5

I prefer the Apress books. I don't know if they are translated.

ASP.NET: http://www.apress.com/book/view/9781590598931

ASP.NET MVC: http://www.apress.com/book/view/9781430210078

Answer 6

Check out the learning section of the official ASP.NET website:

http://www.asp.net/learn/

Also, check out the Murach books:

Answer 7

I would say Beginning ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB would be a good read and after that Professional ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB .. because I actually own both of these books

Keep in mind reading these books will only give you a foundation of what to expect, but you wll only get the full understanding by using asp.net yourself

Answer 8

Read books as the other posters have suggested. This will let you know what you can and can't do (easily). After reading a book then build a website and learn the rest through experience.
Then get a more advanced book and go through the same process. :)

Answer 9

The best way, of course, is to actually build a website in asp.net ...

Answer 10

As everyone else suggested you, I suggest asp.net learning pages, too. But first of all reading a book on topic is a better way I think. Because books are well structured to learn something.

Also take a look at that question if you're also new to .net or web development.

And one more thing, find a project for yourself to improve your skills and to implement what you learn. Develop your own blog, your own wiki, or whatever you like.

Answer 11

practice while you watch http://www.asp.net/learn

There are a plenty of videos for a basic user and you can take it from there..

Forget not to practice!!!

Answer 12

The best way to learn asp.net is by practice. Walk through some tutorials, build some things you like yourself. You might even wanna try to get someone's code and just look through it so you can addept way's off approaching things in asp.net. And if you just google after "asp.net learn" or "asp.net tutorial" like all other users did posting comments before me, you can actually find alot of info.
