.NET is the Microsoft Web services strategy to connect information, people, systems, and devices through software. Integrated across the Microsoft platform, .NET technology provides the ability to quickly build, deploy, manage, and use connected, security-enhanced solutions with Web services. .NET-connected solutions enable businesses to integrate their systems more rapidly and in a more agile manner and help them realize the promise of information anytime, anywhere, on any device.\n\n.Net is looking as a promising technology and you should get some job prospects after completing the course. \n\nYou can find more info at : \n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/net/basics.mspx

The tired answer is to learn web programming skills, but those guys are generally a dime a dozen.\n\nLook into learning C# for windows.  There is a free version I believe that you can download for learning.  Learn how to do stuff with a database.  Again, I think there's a free version of SQL Server, or you can always use the free MySQL database.  Spend a lot of time really getting to undertand object oriented programming techniques (do this by making up some projects - games, DVD collection software, etc).  Once you have a good feel for it, farm yourself out dirt cheap - up to $20/hour - you may be able to find work as an "intern" for around $10 - $15/hour.  If you can live on that for around a year you're home free.  After a year of living like crap you should be good for a $50k/year job or less doing stuff you can work on at home.  After another year of that you should be able to do just about whatever you want.\n\nYou don't HAVE to do C#, but right now it's the easiest skill to get into places.  Java shops are going to be snootier and more difficult to get into for someone with no experience.  Lots more places are willing to give you a shot if you're willing to work for next to nothing (in programmer terms) and you know c#.\n\nIt's not easy, but it's not too hard either to get into programming and make a decent living.  If you have analytical skills and you enjoy solving problems, and, most importantly you aren't afraid to take risks, you can do it, no problem.

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.

Not much. Indeed .NET was developed to include all the features of Java. Indeed .NET can be platform independent as well, the only thing that is missing is a CRE created for an OS different to Windows.\n\nJava has a lot more support from the "Free Software" side, so a lot more things can be found for free on Java than .NET\n\n.NET is installed right inside the new versions of Windows, so people doesn´t need to install addicional pieces of software to run a program.\n\nYou can have amazing Java Editors for free (like Eclipse).\n\nAnd so on, and on... and on.\n\nThe fight can last for ever, and some times it's more a decision of "In which side are you?".\n\nOf course, if you know Java many companies can employ you, and if you know .NET many others will do. But if you know both, that will open opportunities in both worlds.

It is a development platform from Microsoft. It contains a few languages which are .NET compatible. For more information, look up www.gotdotnet.com\n\nYou can develop Windows applications, Web applications, Mobile, Pocket PC, Smartphone applications and the like.\n\nGood Luck.

You can download a free version of Visual Basic from the link below.  Once you register, you'll get access to a free e-book, "Build a Program Now!", which I think is very good.  This version of Visual Basic includes .NET 2.0.\n\nThe other two links are Microsoft's information on Visual Basic and .NET.

I think the best one is the software developers as a career path. Using .Net as your development choice, you will get higher salary than just a tester.

I know what you mean, there are many technologies nowaday, that migth me confusing, but don't worry, most of the times the work by it self guides you trougth one or another till you get specialized.\n\nAnd even then, there migth be some moment when you will have to turn again to learn something diferent, since all of the technology is moving so fast that what is the fashion today migth be obsolete in one more year, so get used to it. I can tell you, i have work in technology about 10 years now, and i have worked with many diferent developer tools and databases.\n\nI will give you an idea, how i see it at the moment.\n\nEverything is about web nowaday, so, the fist thing you have to focus is on tools like HTML, XML, those are like basics, that you will use in almost any technology you work with.\n\nAbout programming languajes, i believe all the MS Visual Studio . NET is used in many places, there is wide known, and that would be a tool, wich you migth find that every where they look for people with that knowledge. And you can learn it almost anywhere.\n\nPerhaps, if you have an oportunity to learn something like database administrations, that would be anothe way to go, there you migth not be so into develop, but into database administration, using tools to create databases, manipulate databases, make tunning, that kind of work is better payed, i guess. \n\nThere are another technologies that are just starting, and i believe there's a long way to go with them, wich is Businness Inteligence, DataWareHouse. This is more about the exploit the functional data of a company, making it readable, more understandable for the Businness persons. \nThis is an area, that i believe it's just been developing in many companies, that is not easy to learn and the tools are not easy to get. If you like that kind of tools, you migth want to start in some company where they can help you to learn about it. This is very rentable in the future i guess.\n\nAll of this are general ideas, but you have to do a little research, so you find something you find interesting, and there you focus your job search.\n\nRemember that in any technology, if you don't know at the beginning you can be used as a junior developer, and getting a lower salary, but think that's the way you can get experience. \n\nGood luck.

Some form of BASIC - the BEGINNER'S All-purpose Symbolic Instructions Code. Visual BASIC.net is the most recent version, and can be used to make web-enabled programs. The site I've listed below is run by a college professor who writes textbooks - it's an e-mail list.

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.

frankly speaking most languages are related ie the syntax is similar so you if you can learn to code in one you can easily grasp the syntax in others and the logic remains pretty much the same..my suggestion would be you learn to program in a high level language like C++ or java..from there you can graduate to others..\n\nyou can follow this flow\n\nC -> C++ --> java -->javascript --> python --> perl...\n\ni cant comment about .net and apache since i have never used them\n\nregarding Visual basic its mostly a graphical interface with some basic programming so my suggestion is get a good book on visual basic or a good website and start fooling about with it..you can easily learn it in a weeks time\n\nThese two websites are good to learn VB\n\nhttp://www.vbtutor.net/vbtutor.html\nhttp://cuinl.tripod.com/tutorials.htm\n\nDreamweaver is a  WYSIWYG editor so even if you dont know HTML you can design nice looking websites restricted only by our  creativity..anyway learning HTML is easy...\n\nthis website is good for HTML http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/
