I am teaching a third online class called Beginning Web Development with ASP.NET at LVS Online. This 6-week class will focus on the understanding the basics of how the .NET framework works with creating ASP.NET web applications using the C# programming langauage. Students will use the free web development tool Visual Web Developer 2008 Express to create their ASP.NET 3.5 web pages.
If you are using my online ASP.NET Workshop to learn the basics of creating web applications using ASP.NET, one of the lessons that often gets overlooked by the novice (including me) is how does the ASP.NET architecture work behind the scenes. Although learning this may seem a bit too technical or unnecessary since all you want to do is create some dynamic web pages, it is worth taking a brief look at least at these informative videos.
Here are some great cheat sheets (.pdf) on ASP.NET, VB.NET and C# from LearnVisualStudio.Net
Apart from taking my online ASP.NET workshop, here are some detailed, easy-to-follow artlcles (.pdf) to help you learn many of the important topics of ASP.NET 2.0 development. These were written by David R. Adams and can actually be used as a replacement for buying a book.
An excellent resource!
Sean Hull wrote two great articles describing the differences between the latest versions of PHP (ver 5) and ASP.NET (ver 2.0). The first article gave a good introduction to both technologies, while the second article went into more detail of advanced features such as OOP in PHP and the .NET framework in ASP.NET.
