Beginning ASP.NET and C#

Question

I guess the title gives most of my question away, I have a university project in which I must design and create a website in php or asp.net I have chosen the asp.net path since I am pretty familiar in php and I prefer C# to php.. Could someone please reference some good online places to visit to do some further learning, and recommend some books would appreciate it thanks.

I think the Wrox Problem-Design-Solution books are always good if you like tutorial style books.

If you're looking at MVC, Microsoft has the excellent Nerddinner tutorial

Answer 4

MVC is overkill for a basic university project site. Get a basic site similar to what you need (Website or Web Application project), perhaps from the free community projects on the ASP.NET home site, and then follow the video tutorials there using the freely downloaded site as a starting point :-)
