Please help me to get the knowledge

Dear members.

I hv been in the programming filed more than 7 years. My primary development language is Visual Basic and back-end is Oracle

 

Now, I would like to go for Visual C# and ASP.net. I have never done any web pages or web based projects in my carrier and I have no much idea on that except basic HTML

Now, give me guide to learn C#. My main idea is to develop web based projects using by Visual C#. Do you know any good sites (other than MSDN) and online books, please let me know.

 

You help will really help me a lot

Well, if you are familiar with VB.Net, then the transition should be pretty easy to C#. VB6, might be a little more painful. If you're moving from VB6 (or <) it might be easier to start with VB.Net (because you'd probably feel more comfortable with the syntax) and then move over to C# once you're comfortable with .Net concepts.

 

As far as books go, this is a pretty good resource. Also, you should be able to find tutorials online pretty easily too.

 

Probably the best way to proceed is to just start using the language in a project or mini-project, search online and the MSDN when you start to get stuck, and come back here and post when you get really stuck.

Thanks a lot.

I will consider of VB6 to VB.Net path

For asp.net there are numerous sites. Here's a few off the top of my head:

http://asp.net

http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/

http://www.theserverside.net/ (my friends use this, I've not used it much)

 

Plus, as you mentioned, a couple of books would help. I'd look into at least two books: one on the language (C# in your case) and one on the technology you want to use (ASP.NET). If you want ADO.NET for data access, you may get enough out of the ASP.NET book.

For C#, I'd recommend Programming C# by Jesse Liberty (there may be a newer edition by now).

 

For ASP.NET I like Dino Esposito's books: Core Reference and Advanced Topics.
