First, I apologize if this is a repeat of a previous question; I did some searching on SO and couldn't quite find what I was looking for in the search results.

I'm a Coldfusion Web Developer and I'm finding that in my local area, work for CF Devs has become extremely scarce. There were a handful of companies that were Coldfusion houses a few years ago and it appears most of them have moved away from CF development. I'm looking to expand my skillset to improve my employment outlook, and it appears that many of the web development positions that are available to me now are focused around .NET web development.

The last time i took a look at .NET as a web development platform was way back during 2.0; where I found it to be poorly organized and extremely unfocused. Apparently somewhere along the line I missed the boat because that's where about 90% of the web development jobs in my area are now. I've done some searching on google to see if I can find a tutorial, something that's akin to hand-holding, and have come back dissapointed.

So I'm turning to the SO community to ask for links and resources that might help better explain how .NET development works in a web development capacity, and for links to these resources so I can begin boning up my knowledge and start writing practice applications.

The best resource ever

This question has been asked and answered here before.

It appears that this is a pretty common question here.

Listing of duplicates really belongs in a comment, not an answer.

@gnovice OK, my bad. Next time.

Are these really duplicates? None of those questions are specifically about web development, and certainly none are aimed for web developers moving to .Net from another platform or technology stack

Here are two introduction learning videos especially for Coldfusion developers who want to start with (or migrate to) ASP.NET:

A good source for online video tutorials: http://www.tekpub.com

There are quite a few authors that post videos on the site, but most of them are highly respected within the .NET community.

Great resource but it is not free !
