Best Book(s) for ASP.NET web applications?

Question

I'm looking for a book that can help me setup up web applications using ASP.NET. I'm not looking so much at the coding side (i.e. C# or the .NET framework) of things, but rather the actual building up of a website from scratch. So perhaps the book is more HTML/Javascript/CSS.

So basically, I have a 'blank piece of paper', and I want to start writing a web application. I have lots of experience on the desktop, so I need something that will help me step into the web side of things.

Dupe. Existing articles below, the first two I would consider exact dupes:
