Essentials for learning .net ?

Visual Studio.Net and MSDN which includes all the help files and excelent informatin for learning .Net. Also I would suggest lots of hands on practice. Just jump in and code something and figure it out along the way. That is the best way to learn.

You can find Vb.net projects in this sites\n\nhttp://www.novicksoftware.com/downloads.htm\n\nhttp://members.tripod.com/m4_203g/id12.html\n\nBut my suggestion is that you do by your own, that will be helpful for you in your future

* To understand c# fully, if you are using MS Visual c#, you really need time to get to grips with the windows framework, and also using MS VC# as a development tool.\n\n* Buy a good book, there are plenty around.\n\n* Attend a course.\n\n* Find online help, tutorials and samples and start coding, its fun learning on the job!\n\n* Understand what it is you are actually doing. There are too many that for example dont know the difference between a Char and an Int32.\n\n* Learn to use the debugger as this will visually answer any questions you might have about whats happening where.\n\n* Read up on coding styles and standards as neat layouted logical code is good for the soul.\n\n* Ask lots more questions, there are always people that want to help!\n\n\n\nPs - I picked c# up in a day, but there again I've been programming since 1979. All I wll say is its an easy, quick development cycle, high profile language to have on your CV.

If you want to learn the basics, you should take a look at "Total Idiots Guide To C#". It's real simple and helpful. For a more advanced level try "Inside C# 2nd Ed. - Tom Archer, Andrew Whitechapel". This one is from Microsoft. It's realy good.

I'd read the ASP.NET book first.  There is a lot of stuff based around the .Net Class library that you need to know to effectively do any .Net programming, but the VB.Net book is going to spend a lot of time showing you how to create Windows-based applications, and it sounds like you're primarily interested in web programming.  Keep the VB.Net book around, though - it will probably come in handy as a reference guide.

wrox publishing has a book called Begining ASP Databases, you would want the newer .NET version now:\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/BookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=076454375X&itm=1\nI learned with that and a book on SQL server specifically:\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/BookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=1861002319&itm=6\n\nIts a lot of fun, good luck!

Here's a list of sites i've used that have been a great help for me in completing many C# projects.\nBy far thecodeproject is the best source of examples.\n\nI should also mention, that if you have a full copy of Visual Studio, the help files and MSDN library that comes with it is a good source as well.

yes its a good idea to learn vb.net ,and if u dont have any idea about vb6 even then u will learn it . the only thing matter here is how much u know about programming in general. if u dont know anything about programming even then u have to give some of your time to learn and practice it.Learning visual Basis 2005 step by step as mentioned by some of our fellow is a good book for a new learner.

I recommend you buy the Learnkey asp.net developer cd's(6 cd's + 7 cd's) but it's expensive .http://wwww.learnkey.com\nor you can read books www.wrox.com\nalso refer to the related articles for asp.net just search google.

There are a ton of .Net resources out there and which is 'best' is pretty subjective (ask 12 people, get 12 different answers).\n\nI like most the Deitel books for programming and they have an  excellent C# course. Wrox books (professional ASP.Net for example) provide good step-by-step instructions for beginners.\n\nWhen looking for a programming book, I'll go to amazon.com and read the customer reviews. The reviews are often written by experienced programmers and provide insight into what's good or bad about a particular book.  Lots of recommendations for different books as well.  I can usually find a clear concensus within a half-hour or so.\n\nTry starting here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764576100/qid=1147537071/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-8209083-4385544?s=books&v=glance&n=283155\nCheck out the customer reviews, their recommendations on other texts, etc.\n\nOf course their are also some great on-line tutorials or quick-starts as mentioned above.  Good luck!
