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.
